can it be  true?  I have my 3 kids plus my friends 3 kids, ages 8 months, 4 and 6.   So a total of 6 kids today.  I have managed to keep them outside most of the morning.   I made them have snack outside on the deck while I put the littlest two down for nap at the same time, tried to at least!!  the little guys are sleeping, and the rest are outside enjoying the beautiful day.  I’ve gotten 2 loads of laundry done, the kitchen cleaned up some, the floor cleaned and so far no major catastrophes.   I’m aiming to walk them all to mcdonalds for lunch, they have an outdoor playground there.  it will prove interesting, the goal is to avoid another mess here that I have to clean up.  After lunch is quiet time for bo and I’m thinking I’ll let the bigger ones watch a movie since they’ve been so good all morning.  the little guys should take another nap later too.   Dean and my friend aim to be home “before 4″  praying it’s closer to 3!!  so far so good though.  heck I am even sitting here blogging, how nuts.  maybe I can handle more kids, somedays at least!!   for a little while this morning with two crying babies and kindergartners begging me to let them paint I thought I was gonna lose it but it’s since settled down and so far everyone is happy.  and I’m not dead tired yet!  so wohoo for a good morning and praying for an easy afternoon!
