Kids, Kids, Kids!

They're everywhere! The past couple of days, my house has been flooded with kids. There are, of course, my own three, then two little girls from our neighborhood that my girls play with every day, and I am watching a friend's daughter. On top of that, there is a little boy from down the street that hangs around my oldest daughter quite a bit. He was here yesterday and ended up staying for dinner.

He isn't here (yet) this morning, but all the others are. The neighborhood girls were here before 10:00 this morning to play and my friend dropped her daughter off just before 10:30. I fed them all cereal. I'll tell you what, I think they would all eat all day long if I'd let them! One or another of them is constantly asking for something to eat or drink.

Do you know how many juice pouches I've passed out over the past few days? I've also volunteered myself to keep the neighbor girls overnight tonight so that their parents can get some packing done. They are moving next weekend. Not far away, but the girls won't be able to play together very often anymore. I feel really bad for them because the girls literally play together every day, pretty much all day long. I don't know what my girls are going to do once they move.

Anyway, I better go make sure no one is sneeking any food out of the kitchen!

I can't even imagine how bad it got when your one friend brought over her 4 yesterday. Depending on if everything else stayed the same, you would have had 11 kids in the house!!!
