My boys

One thing that still amazes me, even after 5 kids, is how different they each are. These boys of mine are so unique in so many ways. They can be the best of friends or the worst enemies. Kayden and Carter are only 17 months apart, and when they were small I used to get asked quite often if they were twins, but I never saw it especially knowing how different they are it's even harder to imagine.

A classic example of their personalities is how they spend their money. At Christmas, Carter got a Ipod touch with 3 Itunes gift cards. Kayden got a kindle fire with money to spend to put stuff on it. Brendan got a 3DS, but he didn't get any new games since it is compatible with all the others we already have and it had games free on the system.  Carter spent all his gift cards, bought another gift card with his own money, and spent that all in the first couple of weeks of having it.  He bought games, music and apps. Not a single book to read. Kayden has only spent a small portion of his money. What he has spent has been on books. Brendan was as content as can be with his and never even thought to spend or ask for anything else on his until a couple of weeks ago when he bought a $10 gift card to get some games. I know this seems funny, but it amazes me how this just speaks volumes about their personalities.
