This Morning...
This morning I was watching 5 extra little cousins. Some because of parent -teacher conferences and no school, and the others because I usually swap watching kids with my SIL one morning a week to run errands. So we had a 1yo, 2yo, 3yo,two 4 yo, a 6 yo, and a 9yo. What a zoo! After two left at 11:00 we made lunch and the boys went outside for recess even though it was sprinkling. Jace had a great time letting the drips from the roof make a puddle on his head then he had to come show me how cool it was. They didn't stay outside for very long--it was pretty cold--before heading back in shedding socks, wet shirts, and coats in various piles through the kitchen and LR. Now it's 1pm and I need to do the small sink of dishes up, and fold 2 baskets of clothes. But when that is done I can recruit the kids to go outside and dig with me to plant the fall bulbs I got yesterday. Daffodils and purple Iris. So here goes.
