Tween Tuesday Linky, Teen Tuesday Linky

Welcome to Tween and Teen Tuesdays at OurCrazyBoys.com! I hope you’ll come share your posts about your not-so-little-but-not-so-big kids with me. We’re off to New York tomorrow! I’m packing and checking things off my mental checklist. Toothbrushes? Check. 5 shorts, 5 shirts, 5 underwear for each of the kids? Che… wait. Michael decides that this [...]

Dear Moms of Boys,

 Somewhere along the line, your little boys will… um… grow up. They won’t ride dinosaurs at the park anymore. They won’t ask for pushes on the swings. They’ll ask for Frappuccinos from Starbucks and Ramen noodles and clothes from Tilly’s. They’ll build towers out of Axe and you will always buy them more because you’ll [...]

Concerts With Tweens. Not What You’d Think.

Pitbull-Concert

This summer, I have had the opportunity to take both of my boys to concerts – separately, because Michael wouldn’t be dragged into Demi Lovato and I wouldn’t let Jack anywhere near Pitbull.

It Really *Does* Take A Village

Jack

We started out the day in tears. Tears, and we hadn’t even arrived at the tournament yet. I’m not going to win. I don’t want to wrestle today.  We talked about how not feeling confident can affect the way you wrestle, and how he was prepared because of the 2 hour a night, 5 night [...]

So Proud {What I Learned This Week}

What a weekend! Full of learning… I learned that when your little boy has been practicing 3-4 nights a week for 3 months straight, the culminating swim meet is a BIG DEAL. I learned that it is not possible to write the word breast on your 9 year-old’s arm without giggling to yourself. I learned [...]

If You Were Coming Over…

If you were coming over to my house for dinner tonight, you would probably: Be warned to step over a few toys that are scattered on the floor. Be served on paper plates. Be given directions to the beer fridge in the garage, the soda fridge out back, and offered whatever we’re mixing in the [...]

Crazy² = Airsoft

Waiting

Michael’s birthday was last week, and he asked to have his party at the local airsoft course, Toxic Airsoft. Yes, An airsoft birthday party. I’m not a fan of my 11 year-old running through the desert wielding an airsoft gun, but the players wear face protection and there is a list of rules about a [...]
