I'm still alive...

I'm still alive and am finally back home after spending 2 1/2 weeks helping my Mom out. Well, I actually got back Saturday evening, but it has taken some time to get caught up on things. Mainly wash and sleep.

I've had the privilege of helping out with many of my nieces and nephews. We had a house full of 9 kids all under the age of 7. My Brother and his wife went to Mexico for a week leaving their five kids, we had my Sister's two, and my two. There were 4 one year-olds (Zoe and the triplets), a two year-old, a three year-old, a four year-old, a five year-old, and a six year-old. Needless to say, things were kind of hectic at times, but all in all a lot of fun. Luckily the weather was so warm the older kids (Noah on up) got to spend a lot of time outside. They'd wake up in the morning eat breakfast, get dressed, and go outside. We'd pull them in for lunch time and rest time. They'd go back out until dinner, come in and eat, and then go back out until the sun went down. I've never seen my son have so much fun or be so completely dirty. So, we'd bath everyone and send them to bed. So, every spare moment was spent getting ready for the next task. which left no time for the computer - plus I didn't have access to my pictures.

For the most part everyone got along great and I know Noah is sure missing his cousins right now. It was a great experience, but I'm very thankful for my two.

I'll have to post some pictures of our great adventures.
