Just the four....I mean seven of us!

Yes, you read that right.  And no, I didn't find out I'm having triplets instead of one baby.  Hehe.....
I have my two nieces and nephew for the weekend.  So, that makes 7 total of us.  5 kids, plus me & Dustin.  Yes, it's a busy weekend but so far, fun!  I actually wasn't thinking and made my 6 month dr. check-up for this afternoon, so I left Papa with all 5 kids for the afternoon.  He's a trooper, I gotta say.  He never turns down babysitting, even when it's all 5.  My main worry when I agreed to keep three extras for the weekend was, what am I going to feed everyone?  I always like to have these things figured out ahead of time and also-those kids can EAT!  Tonight I picked up pizzas on my way home from my appointment and when I walked in the house, I was attacked!  :-)  My kids wanted hugs, Carson said he wanted "supper".  He's never said that before, so I guess he got it from the bigger ones.  The bigger ones were grabbing at pizza, so I had to send everyone away for handwashing, etc. while I made plates and drinks.  You would think none of the five had eaten all day!  :-)  They all ate good and played good, then bedtime!  Day 1 was good.  We'll see how tomorrow goes.  I'm sure it will be just fine.  It's not bad with five kids....maybe we should keep going?????  I'm game but D's happy with 3. 
Speaking of little # 3, he was doing great today.  The dr. was laughing at how active he was.  He is a very active little boy.  He has to be, his brother and sister are always bumping into my stomach.  At least he's getting an idea of what he's in for.  I had to run a few errands while I was out, so I got his baby book and a "coming home" outfit.  I know we have plenty of clothes but I really wanted something just for him to come home in.  I also have got to work on his book, as well as the twins books!  I'm a slacker.  I did good for about the first 9 months, then slacked off as I got busier. 
I can't believe we are at 6 months already.  Amazing!  We are hoping to work on his room this week.  Dustin is off for vacation for 2 weeks, so my goal was to be finished with the room the first week he's off.  Don't know if it will happen, but we'll see. 
Well, I'm off to rest.  :-)
