I had a chance this past week to try out having five kids! My sister Cristeen, was hitting her ten year anniversary and her husband planned an amazing cruise so i agreed to watch their four children while they would be gone! She has Spencer, 7, Jenna, 6, Breanna, 3, and Benjamin, 18 months, so with Coleton, 18 months, it was quite the adventure!
They left on a thursday and return a wednesday and with no way to get a hold of them or talk to them through out the week we had some interesting moments.
Along with the normal daily activities of breakfast, getting ready for school, homework, dinner, naps, bedtime(with practically twin 18 months olds)
and keeping things cleaned up, we had alot of fun. We went to chuckie cheese one of the days, Mcdonalds one day,
they had their primary program(which was adorable), had Spencer home sick one day, played some games, played the wii, watched cartoons,
and played outside (when the weather was nice). Though i absolutely love my neices and nephews there were moments during the week when i wondered to myself "what have i gotten my self into" but in the end everything turned out great. Cristeen and Brian came home to four safe kids, not really so healthy (just barely missed them all getting sick when i left), they were glad to have both parents back.
The week went great and i decided that having five wouldnt be bad if they were as good as these ones are!!
