Where there are boys....

there is NOISE!!

I took Nicholas to his soccer practice tonight and when we got home, it was vewy, vewy quiet in our house (picture Elmer Fudd tiptoe-ing into my house). Joe was reading the newspaper, MIL was watching her TV, Jules was watching "The Spectacular Spiderman" and Frankie was doing homework. Nick and I were surprised at the peace and tranquility of it all.

Oh but allllll that was about to change my friends...

Frankie finished his homework and yelled, "GAME ON!!!" Within seconds, Jules had a ministick, Nick had a ministick, Frankie had a ministick and I had a ministick. Oh yes peeps, *I* had a ministick! We took our positions in the hallway and it was ON! Game on indeed!!

I kicked butt as the goalie. Julian did some cute moves all around the hallway and kinda just got in the way, but he was cute doing it and the older boys were really good about including him without killing him...LOL. I saved tons of shots, mainly because, according to Nicholas, "You take up the whole net Mom"...sigh. But I pulled some major Toscala and Lunqvist saves baby! Oh yeah...I even pulled off a butterfly save! HA!

Nicholas kicked some butt with some awesome defensive moves, taking Frankie out several times with his reflexive moves! Frankie has an awesome wrist shot and he nearly took my eye out with his one-handed slapshot!

When it was all said and done, the score was 5-4 in favour of Nick and I...Jules and Frankie hung their heads in shame and we all celebrated with Nesquik cereal...I had a glass of wine instead of cereal...LOL.

Being a Mom of boys is so much fun! Yes, if I had a girl, I could bake with her, plat Barbies and dress up with her, but would I nearly lose my voice in a masculine game of ministicks?

I think not.
