Back in April, Rachael (Aaron's middle sister) had surgery to have her gallbladder removed. I volunteered to help watch the kids for a couple of days for her to have the surgery and begin her recovery. (Since she has 4 kids and watches Jacob also during the day.) We had a blast, but they sure wore me out...and that was with one in school all day and another in school half the day! To make things easier for me, we all spent the night at Grandma's (Aaron's mom's). It was a mad house some times! I managed to take a few pictures of all our fun.
We watched a little tv and of course played outside to burn some energy.
One day we ventured to playgroup. I had to borrow a van just for us all to fit! It was a rainy day so it was storytime at the library. I wouldn't recommend it with 5 kids. Even if your sister-in-law, Emily, comes. As if the stories aren't hard enough to sit through for the kids, craft time was hard to keep from total chaos. Since kids eat for 99cents, we also squeezed in some Lake Wylie Pizza. It is one of our favorite things to do on Wednesdays. We ended up with some loud, restless kids and one asleep before lunch was through.
Somehow we survived. We'd even do it again if there was a similar situation. I just am not having 6 kids. At least not 6 kids ages 6 and under! Thank goodness I'm just the aunt for most of them! =)
