Trade days

So ever since 2007, when my sister and I had twin boys 4 months apart, we have leaned on each other for childcare. In the beginning it was a big deal if either one of us would watch all four, (then five kids when Evelyn came along), but now it is a normal reoccurance. Often times I find it even easier some days to watch all five, because they just play!

Today

Well today was a completely different kind of day. I did not want to get up and moving. I was so sleepy until after lunch, when I finally made an executive decision to load the kids up and go to Dairy Queen. So we sat on the couch until 1:15 watching some of my favorites, "Mr. Rogers, Barney etc." and then off we went!

We made our rounds, bank, library, Abby's. . . . Poppy's and home, just in time for me to change and go to the grocery store to work. Ramsey wanted to try out my uniform. Maybe tomorrow we will dye the eggs.. . .

Yesterday

Yesterday was one of those days that last forever, you look at the clock and think, its only one fifteen. And then you look up and you have had the best day of your life. We just played and played and dressed up and made ingredients and jumped on the trampoline and rode bikes, and looked at all the worms (oak tree catapillars) falling and haning amongst the sky. We were on the keyboard reviewing three blind mice, learning mary had a little lamb too. We were pottying, pooping, washing hands, taking medicine, putting stickers on charts. We were reading books, taking needed naps all together, with fan blowing on us, as the sun came in and out of the trees. Momma made a rum and diet coke, we had a picnic with friends up at church. We were so excited when daddy came home! We all woke up and went to church and got dreads out of our hair. We made macaroni necklaces and ate Lanny's birthday cake that Marge made with mint and coolwhip and ice cream. We learned more about Jesus' love for us. All in fifteen hours time.
