These 2 boys... I am so happy they have each other!
It's not news to anyone reading this that we have our 4 boys in 2 pairs with a bit of a gap in between. I've shared in the past how much I love this arrangement. It just works for OUR family!
The difference between the first pair and the second is that Zane and Beck still spend nearly every day together and have pretty much the exact same activities and interests at least 80% of the time. They have what I have always assumed is a more typical "brother" relationship than Spencer and Quinn (who also have a great relationship - not taking anything away from them...) They play and they fight and they imagine together. They support each other - and make each other SO mad! They know exactly which buttons to push to get a rise out of the other. It's impressive, really!
They have, of course, spent time apart (camps and such) but over the course of their lives, I would say they have EASILY spent 90% of their days together - and sleeping in the same room. This week, that all changed. We moved Beckett out of their shared room and for the first time since we have lived in this house, that bedroom over the garage houses only 1 Bovy boy.
Once I got over the amount of trash under the bed and we finished transporting far too many t-shirts across the hall, it set in that this little home-improvement project had some pretty BIG implications.
My boys are growing up...
And they are so excited about all the changes. I am so proud to watch them go through all this amazing growth and change. I know they are all ready for all the stuff about to come their way with the start of a brand new school year this week. More on Back-to-School next week... and you'd better believe I'm over-the-moon excited that Spencer is going to be home for a new, obligatory First Day of School picture! LOL
This week we started football practice. Next week Spencer comes home (for 9 days) and we start school and fall wrestling. Oh and Bob is taking Quinn to Pigeon Forge for a wrestling tournament too. Pretty wild week!
PS: It's been less than a week since Beck moved out of Zane's room and he's already spent a night on the floor in there having a "slumber party" after they watched a creepy movie. I just love them!
PPS: We MADE my goal of getting this bedroom thing done before school started! Woot!! We still have bookshelves to clean out and some stuff to hang up, but the fact that there is a universal paint shortage happening right now (serious, so over covid...) meant that we couldn't paint either Beckett or Zane's rooms just now - which significantly sped the process up. Painting will have to wait...
