Evidence of Boys

Do any of you have evidence of boys in your homes? I have evidence all over the place, take this for instance...
 
  
Outerwear perched precariously on the backs of chairs and atop couch cushions.
(Please notice the side table!)
And this...

 
Shoes shucked in the middle of the living room floor.
And, does this look like a laundry basket to any of you?

 
(This is a shirt in the middle of my kitchen chair, in case any of you were wondering.)
And what about this...
 
 
Coffee table confetti perhaps?
And this...
 
Pokemon cards poised in the middle of the kitchen table.
And this...

 
A cup half full of the drink of the day situated perfectly on the computer stand.
Or maybe this...

 
Teddy Bear taking a nap all nestled in next to the bench by the front door, along with a bakugan mat and some papers of some such.
Or how about this...

 
 
Bike helmets and backpacks and guns and coats all mixed together to create the perfect art. That thing underneath it all is the toy box designed to have things IN it instead of ON TOP of it. (That is a cooler on wheels next to the toy box, but who could tell?) Thank gosh this mess is in the GARAGE!!
But the best evidence of all is probably this...

 
  
My boys' rooms complete with junk at the end of each bed. The beds strewn with the blankets, unmade and in a mess, complete with the skateboard, we could never forget that! Oh yes, definitely all the evidence I need to say two little boys reside in this humble abode.
You know what else?
I wouldn't trade this evidence for anything in the entire world because this evidence belongs to two very special little people that have captured my heart. I am very glad every day that God chose me to be the one that they call 'Mom', so therefore, I accept the evidence because without it, I would not have them and I don't think I could live with the cleanliness if that is what it meant.
