Our 'part time' kids!

The last few weeks we've been helping out Tanya, while she tries to re-cooperate. So between us and the 'other' Heather we've been taking turns taking care of Larissa, Wyatt and Tanya! Some days its just 2 extra kids, some days its 5 extra... to add to our 4. I don't get too much of my own things done on those days, but surprisingly it goes rather well!
Last week, we had our turn at the 'overnight' visit. We had them Wed. eve through Friday. (actually Tanya picked them up Thurs eve and brought them back Friday morning). 6 kids! You know the theory of your kids are ALWAYS better somewhere else...it's true...we didn't have a lick of trouble with either one!
Look at those brown eyes... both of them!
John and Wyatt: having a 'moment'. It's a long story, but in a nutshell... John is scared of Wyatt. (They're only a few days apart) John is twice the size of Wyatt and could easily 'take Wyatt out', but will cry and run away when Wyatt comes near. It's funny to watch, because John is usually right in there with the 'big kids', but lil 'ol Wyatt gets the best of Tubby! :)And Tanya if you're reading this... we do not mind watching you or your kids AT ALL, but we wish you were back to 'normal'.. well... you know what we mean :) We know you would do the same for us, if tables were turned.. so don't feel at all like you're imposing on us.. because you're not and I know you sometimes try to forget this, but...we're family !!!

You would think extra kids around would be a burden, but when you think of why it is, it is no burden. "He ain't heavy, he's my brother"
