Wow!!!



These pictures are of the kids stringing together colored noodles to make a necklace.
We had a busy week... Non-stop action!! The nine kids that were here for 12 hours a day were:
9 year old girl (my neice)
9 year old girl
8 year old boy
4 year old girl (mine)
4 year old girl
2 year old boy
18 month old boy
18 month old girl (mine)
8 month old boy
This week will hopefully be a little less chaotic since one of the 9 year olds was my neice Kasey, and she has gone back home. Also, the 9 and 8 year olds will be in school, so I will only have them in the moring and after school. I will still have all of the rest of the children here, and in one week, a 3 year old girl will start coming as well. It should be easier with the preschoolers because it was hard to have 3 different activities going at one time (one for the older kids, one for the preschoolers, and one for the toddlers). Grandma Leslie made a surprise visit on Friday, which is always nice. Of course, I wasn't great company because I was exhausted at that point. By the time the last child left at 5 PM, I just wanted to sleep.

Wow, that's a lot! It's always harder when you've got disparate age clusters, too...

Looks like your daycare kids have a lot of fun with the activities you provide! If I'm ever crazy enough to have kids + move to Texas (sorry, but GWB has ruined your state's reputation) I will definitely let you wrangle 'em for me!
