10 kids make a full house!


6 of the 10 kids playing today

Danny hunting for deer-sprinkler fun

Today was a wild and crazy day. We didn't do much except play-a lot! I watched Oaklie and Kendall today. We went to the park, then we called and invited Seth, Tyler, and Sam over once I found out that Amy wasn't feeling well. After lunch (which was was exciting in it's own-feeding 8 kids at once), I set up the sprinklers for the kids to play in while I mowed the lawn. Turning on the sprinklers attracted two other neighbor kids over, making the total of 10 kids (I believe that is the maximum occupancy number for our house) . After dinner, we drove up the mountain to look at a few more cabin lots. We saw lots of deer, and even two brand new baby fawns (which Danny eagerly pretended to shoot with his toy gun) . It was a fun day, but my bed is calling me.

Are you rethinking having a mass amount of kids after yesterday? Sorry Marae & I have not posted recently. We are going through training which isn't too exciting but we will post soon as something exciting happens or soon as we can twist our educational training to enjoyable.

You are supermom!! I can't believe you watched all those kids. You must have been sooo exhausted afterward. I could never do that.

Thanks for your call and invite to the park. We had a really busy day yesterday with going to Target and errands and having a friend visit. Today I had a photo shoot so couldn't go to the shoe party - but that does sound fun - I've heard of those. Was there anything good? I didn't get around to garage saleing this morning but I desperately need a dresser for Lydia's room. Her clothes are all on the floor since I moved the changing table out of there into the Nursery. Let's go together next Sat. morning if you can.

See ya at Church - if I ever see ya! What is your calling? I never see you in R.S. anymore - and it needs some more young ladies :)

Is Amy okay? Just tired?

The after-eight mints are a square 1'' thin mint patty with a dark chocolate coating. The best mint chocolate item by far! The girl from Scotland says they are imported from Europe. The box says nestle. I know you can get them at some stores around but if you give us your address we can mail you some.
