Does anyone else have boisterous girls?

I'm reading the struggling with three boys thread
and wondering if 3 boys could be any worse than my 3 girls ( and 3 year old boy) combo?
They are terrible if left to watch TV all day, we can't do pyjama days because it always ends up a disaster.
We need to get out of the house and run around every day for at least an hour ( more is better).
Luckily we have a pool, so they spend an hour or so in there a day.
They are always fighting, usually physically.
If I leave the room I often come back to a pile of girls wrestling with a small boy perched on top like a tick on a sheeps bum.
When we are out and about, someone always falls over, someone always has a meltdown and someone usually injures themselves in an obscure way.
They always need a bath at the end of the day because they are normally filthy.
Am I alone in having girls who aren't in the least girly?

I have a feral DD2 (5) as well, all of her friends are boys and most play times are spent playing star wars or other fighting games.

I am lucky that we live across the road from a park and so she heads off with the boys from next door, swords and light sabers and I only have to keep watch from the doorway.

6 year old .DD is petite, blonde and looks like butter wouldn't melt. She spends her days climbing, wrestling her brother to the ground, watching Dr Who and talking about bodily functions.

She's far more physical and adventurous than DS.
