Here a kid, there a kid...

I will start by saying I am spoiled. I know it; I make no excuses; I'm fully aware of it. We have 2 kids and one of them is in school all day. The other takes 2 hour naps in the afternoon. It's really not that hard to tote one around to the grocery store or wherever we need to go. Sometimes, she'll have a meltdown and then it's a bit troublesome. But really it's not that big of a deal. There - that's out of the way. :)

I got to watch Jackson, Gabrielle, and Conner this morning while Dacia took Brady to the doctor. She also took Cooper with her as well. For those of you counting at home, yes, that is 5. Jackson is 4, Gabrielle and Conner are 2 year old twins, and Cooper and Brady are 6-month old twins. Dacia has said that she should just put a sign on her head when she goes out that reads, "Yes, they are all mine. Yes, I do have my hands full. Yes, I know what causes that!" She's a great mom and I really admire her.

The kids were all great and they played very well together. While playing with Rachel, Gabrielle, and Conner I thought, "Hmmm....wonder if this is what's its like to have triplets" When one wants juice, they all want juice. If one wants a snack they all need a snack. And then when I had them all on the sofa taking a photo I thought, " Multiply this party by 2 and you have an episode of Jon and Kate plus 8!" We had fun. Dacia and Brad will be moving back home to Georgia this June, and I will miss them....a lot!
