Week of... screaming kids, dirty diapers, no sleep, & birth control!

It really isn't as bad as it sounds!! My sister Amber and her husband went to Cancun for a week and we kept their 2 kids. (Who do you think got the better end of the deal?!) We had a lot of fun, but I sure gained an appreciation to all those moms who have 3 or more kids... especially if you have a toddler and 2 babies. Dalton is 3 years old and the cutest kid ever! He is so fun to talk to and loves to play... the hard thing about him is he likes you to play with him! That wouldn't be too hard, but when you have 2 little babies who need attention, it gets a little tough. Amber and I thought the girls would have so much fun together... they are only a month apart, but it was just the opposite. Dacia hates Taelyn!! Tae is kinda a bully and Dacia is a little prissy pants! It ended up being me holding Dacia all day long, Taelyn following Dalton around, and me finding ways to play with Dalton while entertaining the girls! All in all, it wasn't too bad... but Amber, you just wait... Your turn is coming!!

Oh look how cute your blog is!! Love it. You were so cute with all the kids you are a natural at it.

Yeah, it can be a little crazy. You have to gradually add more kids to the mix!! You are great. I bet Amber and Chad just love you for helping them out! All parents need a break sometimes. That is why 3 kids right now is sounding just about right!!!

Good work! I am amazed at parents with more than one child too. Julia keeps me pretty busy - it's hard to imagine having more than her! But I guess we'll just adapt as we go.

Oh Jessica, I would have come down and helped you and then there would have only been 5 kids.(tee hee)..
You are the best to do that for Amber. I am sure she deserves a break and what greater service than to sacrifice your week.

Now do you know why I stopped at 3!
