Wow! I'm not used to having little boys

over here - especially ones that are not well supervised! I had my friend from church over yesterday, so we could work on planning the church picnic, and she has two boys, 5 and 3. Well, the 5 y/o took out every toy (this includes all the barbies and all of their accessories) in the girls toy room, in a matter of minutes (granted, he did play in there, for quite a long time) and the little guy treated my living room like a jungle gym!! Becky and I sent Molly and the little boy outside, but they were in and out constantly! The little guy actually stood on the arm of my sofa (just purchased when we moved into our house a year ago!) and jumped off of it!! I'm quite sure Becky didn't see him do that, but still....I can only imagine what they do at their own house! Sigh - I have girls, who indeed are busy, but they mostly just play - they don't run, jump or any other form of physical activity, in the house. Also, the little boy across the street comes over to play quite often, and he NEVER behaves that way. I just was glad when they left. I really like their mom and dad, but I guess next time we have them over, it will be for an OUTSIDE barbecue!!
