So here Matt and I sit...again, watching Steph's kids. Every year I tell myself that I can handle it and I won't learn anything new, and every year I leave feeling overwhelmed and like I am the dumbest person alive. We have only been here since Monday afternoon, and already I am learning. Here we are Monday night...thinking it won't be too bad, after all, we've done this before. Well, throw into the 5 children an additional child that I babysit, a 4 month old that is teething and is very fussy. Let's just say, not a good night. The baby was here until about 2:30 in the morning, and didn't sleep much because I have the sweetest little 3 year old niece that felt like I needed extra help keeping the baby awake by yelling as loud as she can "I don't want you, I want my mom. When is my mom coming home." I know...very sweet. So I finally bribed her with Alvin and the chipmunks and she fell asleep, so I thought I would catch some sleep too. WRONG!!!! Oh well, baby went home, and I got about 3 hours of sleep.
Woke up, took kids to school, thought I had been hit by a truck...and then my day(now Tuesday) gets better because I get to see this!!!
and this....
So cute. And totally made my day better, except for the fact that he wouldn't cooperate and let us get a good picture of his face. But we think he totally has my nose and lips. I asked for a cute shot of his hands too, but he was making fists and pouting!!
Got home, did homework with the kids, made dinner, and then my sweet husband let me go to bed at 8 and put all the kids to bed without my help...well, actually when I got up at 10, there was still an older child awake, but for the most part he did good!!
