Welcome!

On a cold, wet and dreary fall day, full of temper tantrums, yelling, and several arguments about who knows what, I thought I would escape to the computer to create a place for our family and friends to visit and partake of the day-to-day merriment that is "The Boy Family".

OK, that might sound like a harsh start to something that I hope will be a fun place for you to visit. Truth be told, I have been thinking about starting this for a while and after seeing a few other blogs done by some friends, it looked like fun and I thought I would give it a try. So here we go :-)

Why the title of Boy Family Rules you ask? Because that is the world we live in. OK, at least that is the world that I live in. I am happy to say that I am the only honorary girl member in existence of this exclusive club. Being outnumbered 3 to 1 by boys, I figured that Girl Family Rules just wouldn't fly. And yes, there is a Girl Family - ME!

The boys are growing like weeds and school activities keep us busy. Last week on Monday we had a field trip to the museum with Michael's class. This worked out well as it was 90 degrees outside and we got to hang out in the air conditioning all day. Yes, 90 degrees. In OCTOBER! This was followed by Erickson's first preschool field trip to the pumpkin patch on Friday where we bundled up in hats, mittens and winter coats. Go figure.

Wish me luck on this new endeavor! Hopefully I can figure out how to work this thing.
