This post captures so much of what so many of us are going through each day. It also made me miss your sweet kids so much! Thank you for your insight and willingness to share a mother's heart! Each of mine has their "own" room, but only for a time...then they will share again. It's so good for them, and us! I love you all!

I have 4 boys of my own under the age of 9yr. The 2 older ones share a room as do the younger ones. I see them creating a bond and I think that it is great. I am the only child and my husband is baby of 4. I love to watch them sleep at night also. I have to check on them every night before I can go to sleep. Then I pray that the lord keeps them save in whatever the do. Keep up the good work Sarah:) This was a great story! I have 4 boys of my own under the age of 9yr.

Yes there are days that I can't believe the things they have come up with, like shampoo/bubble bath in the bed or ink pen marks all over them, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I absolutely love to hear them giggle and talk even when I know they're being mischievous. the one thing though I have had to do since they are young is for naps Carleigh sleeps in the pack-n-play in another room otherwise they never go to sleep b/c they want to play or they end up stark naked. :) I can't wait to hear the stories that come from the bonds that your boys will make.

I loved watching my two sleep when they were little. I still like to see them sleep as teenagers. They always look so sweet. Britnee and Brett would sleep in the same bed when they were little and we were somewhere in the summer for baseball. They had seperate rooms at home but one or the other would end up in the other's bed in the off-season when we were home. This went on until Britnee was about 10. I know they have fun memories from that time. They had interesting conversations and I would sneak up next to the bedroom door to listen. This is a great post!

I shared a room with Annemarie until we were early teens, and it too is some of my most fondest memories! We still laugh about the things we did in our room or the fights we had. I think a bond forms like no other. My sisters are by far two of my best friends, and I couldn't imagine not having them in my life. My boys are still in separate rooms, but I can see already that Luke really wants to be in there with Levi. Levi has bunks, so he isn't quite sure he wants to give up the bottom for him yet, but they will more than likely wind up together. It is definitely a blessing to have siblings, and a housefull would be quite entertaining. I haven't gotten that word from God to add another though, so we'll be sticking with these boys for now. :) Anyway, really sweet post Sarah!
