BUSY BUSY BUSY!!

Ahh I finally get some quite time to sit down and update my blog.... Let me just take in this precious moment....... AHHHH.....

So it seems my life is going 90 mph lately. I don't know what it was about last week that made me feel busy (other than babysitting) but for some reason I did. Thursday thru Sunday we're spent watching my sister in laws 4 kids while they were out of town. So all together thats 4 days with 5 KIDS!!! Not only did I watch the kids but we had 3 house guests (at my sis. in laws house!) The kids were really well behaved and we had a lot of fun for the most part. Thursday was all homework, choir practice and dance lessons and off to bed! Friday all 4 kids had school so I had time to run home and do some laundry before the yougest got out of preschool. Then it was off to a birthday party for the 2 youngest and b ball practice for the oldest. Saturday we took everyone to Jump on It. Its a huge area with wall to wall trampolines and big blow up jungle gyms. The kids wore them selves out, including Cameron. He claims that in order to keep a "good eye" on the kids he needed to buy a wrist band and jump also... ya sure, but he had a great time too. Then off to wendy's for lunch and then to the park, then to my other in laws for a family birthday party, home to watch a movie and then bed! Sunday was filled with 100 questions an hour about when "mom and dad" are going to be home!!! I've got a lot to learn and patience to gain before I have 4 kids!! Oh boy was it a lot of work and running back and forth! Now we are home and trying to get back on our own schedule.

Jake also turned 10 months over the weekend and surprises me everyday. We can now add "no no" to the list of things he likes to mumble. He can also clap his hands and LOVES doing it, especially if I say "yay Jakie!". It seems like everyday he learns something new and it totally catches me off guard. Its hard to believe he is only 2 months from being a year old!! We didn't have time to even think about taking pictures over the weekend but I'm sure there will be many picture perfect moments this week... I will have to add those later but for now I'm just relaxing...ahhhhh

Wow that sounds like a busy busy weekend! I dont know how moms do it, running 4 kids back and forth to the hundreds of things they do! They all seem to do it and do it well, but I sure enjoy just having one kid for now!

You are really brave to take on 4 kids! Just having these 2 is enough for me to know 4 is out of the question-at least for a very long time! I can't believe your jake is 10 mo. already, I want to see pictures!!
