Oh, What A Day!

I have been taking care of my niece and nephew for my sister so she can work. Let me just tell you what chaos it is when you get a three year old, two two year olds, and two babies together all at one time!

I NEVER even attempt to log onto the computer when I am taking care of them, but I really wanted to respond to an email I had got this morning, so I hauled all of the kids upstairs, Joey practically falling out of my arms the entire way up the stairs. I put the babies on the floor with lots of toys, and I sat the older kids in front of the TV with a kid show on.

I am not in there for more than a minute when Mikayla comes running in yelling, "Preston got poop on him hands!" My precious little nephew had taken a poopy diaper off, and smeared it all over the place. As I am focused on that, I don't even realize that my 7 month old niece is scarfing down a chocolate donut! And sharing the crumbs with her 5 month old cousin. Ahhhhh! How the babies got the bag of donuts is still a mystery, but I have my suspicions.

My girls and I are all at home now. I can barely swallow. I have a terrible sore throat. I had one that lasted only a couple of days, then the night before last it was gone, so I thought I was getting better, but yesterday it came back, and is even worse today! I guess it is just that time of year. Better go get my flu shot!

I had better go. As I am typing this, I can hear Mikayla playing in the water in the bathroom right behind me. Oooooh! What a surprise! She just brought me a cup that she so proudly filled up in the bathroom sink. Or at least I hope the water came from the sink.

But before I go....I have to share a funny story that happened late last night. The boys just got a new weight set (thanks Levi) in their Man Cave. I could here them working out. I heard Dave say to Jeff, "K, let go," Jeff, "Ya sure?" Dave, "yeah, k, let go, let go, k!" Jeff, "K!" Dave, "K Help! K HELP!!!!!" I don't know if you had to be there for it to sound funny. But I sure got a kick out of it!
