Last Week Overload

Last week interesting to say the least. Jacob and Emily stayed at our house for most of the week (while Larissa & Wyatt stayed at their house). The kids had a blast together; playing inside and out. (I have more pictures that I'll post later on) For having 6, sometimes 7 kids it went surprisingly well! The house: well you can imagine what 6 kids can do in one day, let alone one week! :-)

Jacob and Emily introduced our kids to a new 'game'. Dump all the toys out and build a fort to play behind! Thank you very much!! :0 But to be fair our kids have taught them a few new 'tricks' as well! In one day they moved their fort 3 times; picking up ALL the toys and moving each one to another spot! It did keep them very occupied, so I didn't mind! * I like to box up some of the kids toys and rotate them, so old toys are new to them. The kids found the box I hadn't brought downstairs yet, so they had twice the toys! But, yes, our kids have PLENTY to play with :) *


Emily & Carolyn: reading books and tending to their babies (on a chair piled with 'treasures')


*Sorry the video switches sideways halfway through.*
If you were a mouse in our house last week, this is what you would have saw/heard! It's probably safe to say there was never a dull moment all week! Oh, but the fun they had!


All I can say is: This is Katie, what else did you expect?! :)


*** This is most definitely a scheduled post. (Any postings done at 6:00AM usually are! :-) By the time most of you will read this I will have 9 kids in my care for a good chunk of the day! :0 Meaning, I will be MIA in blog land today! Wish me luck, or more appropriately- patience's! Don't feel too bad for me; I'll be rewarded...somehow, sometime! (Not with $$, but even more valuable- ALONE TIME!)
