I stumbled upon this gem tonight.

2002.

Such a simple life as twenty something's with no responsibilities. 

We moved in together that fall in our tiny apartment and got a kitten named Zoey. 

(who, by the way, was a girl kitten that turned out to be a BOY kitten. I should have seen the foreshadowing then about my life with boys.)

fast forward 11 years... we don't even have time to pet zoey (poor zoey) and mike and i barely get to have a conversation that isn't about poop or discipline, and it is being discussed with two boys yelling in the background.

 

boys.

cute boys. but still boys.

T-R-O-U-B-L-E

boys. and more boys. 

boys are trouble.

eli (aka swiper) swiped his outback toys catalog i was hiding from him to pick out christmas gifts. so here he is trying to decide which tractors (PLURAL) Santa should bring him.
