little details

 here is a typical weekday night at the deboer household:

daddy helping with math homework...

mom never helps with math - a teacher once told my parents she thought i had a mental block when it came to math... i hate math.

tonight Luke was struggling and Marc was not yet home and i said "bring it here and let me look at it"

Luke in tears of frustration replied "you're never going to get it" 

hmmmm.... so true

luke was clicking/clucking his tongue... he is always making noises or humming or singing...

that is a little detail about him that i want to always remember

jaeger working hard on his math too... looking a little frustrated

jackson... home from soccer practice, freshly showered and being my goofball

the shot is blurry but i love the warmth in the room and i love my boy in nothing but his basketball shorts, showered and glued to the t.v. - the boys love to watch some of "mom's" shows like the biggest loser and dancing with the stars ... i find myself every monday and tuesday saying to them... "at the next commercial you have to go to bed"

cozy under a blanket curled up in the recliner

snuggled up to daddy... this one is our lover... our best snuggler

marc crashed - every.single.night. he falls asleep while watching tv... so whooped from his day

and ahhh yes... the mess... every night there is a mess of some sort

here we have scattered underwear and socks... clean but not put away

multiple wii games pulled out of the cupboard

a random box and a purple pen...

little details of an ordinary day...and in that day there was: 

  chaos and messes and tears of frustration

but there were also belly laughs and stories being told 

there were high fives for good grades and hugs goodnight

and i felt blessed to be a part of this amazing little family!
