Gonna be BUSY!!!!

I have my niece and nephew for the weekend starting tomorrow. . . I have them Friday, Saturday, and their parents come back on Sunday. And yes, you're probably thinking six kids is going to be busy. Let alone the fact that its six kids all 7 and under. (ages 7-Dallas, 6-Kyle(my nephew), 5-Gabriel (only for a few more days!), 2- Kaleb and Kendyl, 18 months- Kristen (my neice) and yes, the Kaleb, Kendyl, Kyle, Kristen thing gets hard. Even more so when you throw in my neighbors kids who come over to play, Kelsy and Kamryn. lol) But, we'll be throwing on TOP of that. . .

Friday:
They arrive in the AM
In the afternoon we're meeting up with Todd's cousin, his family, and some friends of theirs, with their kids. We're going to the kids carnival that is near them. Then we'll be walking to a near by Chili's restaurant. After that, we'll be walking back to the place where we did the carnival, and we'll be doing fireworks.

Saturday:
We're going to Todd's Aunts house to do some work. She's been wanting Todd to fix some things for a while. And she's been wanting to cook with me. So we'll be cooking (she wants me to teach her some things) keeping kids out of Todds way, and possibly getting some things ready for the next day.

Sunday:

Todd has to be to church by 7:15 am for praise team practice. I have to be to church by 8:30 am because I run the nursery this Sunday. So. . .I have two options. If I want help getting all the kids out of the house I'd have to get them up by around 6:00 am. Yeah. SO not going to happen! Rather he'll get up and do his thing, and I'll get all six kids up and out and to church. And of course Kyle and Kristen have never been to church. So it'll be interesting to see how Kristen does in the nursery!!! Its a good thing Grandma is helping out that morning too!!!

After that we're heading home to get some things together, and then heading to Todds work for Gabriel's birthday party. He turns 6 on the 8th of July. So we'll do his party at 4 pm on the 6th so as to not disturb anyones holiday weekend! (we're going to underwater adventures ON his birthday! He's so excited! HE LOVES SHARKS!)



It should prove to be a rather interesting weekend. I hope that I'm still standing come Monday! No, in all reality it isn't that bad. Whats a few more once you already have four right? Its just going to be a bit of a change for us, because we only have a double stroller, and a single stroller. Which means that both Todd and I will be pushing a stroller this weekend! The twins can't do all that walking, and Kristen needs a stroller too! The three bigger boys get along relatively well, so that shouldn't be an issue. More just the fact that they get a little carried away sometimes!


Hope everyone has a Happy 4th of July!!!
