What a day...

I have no pictures today and it may have something to do with the fact that I am going CRAZY. I still have all of the kiddos that I am keeping this week and I am a little tired. I do have to tell you that I think I would lose my mind if I did this full time.

Alyssa came home last night from shooting a Addias commercial...She was really excited to be one of the 15 girls chosen to shoot the commercial at the Toyota Center. If we hear when it comes on I will post the details so we can see our Super Star!

Tomorrow morning we go to meet the teacher for Jackson. I will post and let you know what happens. He is a little nervous and is worried about bullies giving him a wedgie. I am not sure where he got that from, but I have been telling him to " Fear not for I am with you always" Isaiah 41:10. He seems really comforted that GOD is always with him even when Momma is not.

Fun with Play Dough....

Today we had a lot of kiddos at the house. All of teachers are required to be back at school so I am helping out by keeping their kiddos.... Boy, what a task!
Here is the gang.....
After a much needed quite time we got up and decided to make a pond ecosystem out of Play Dough. I know I am such a nerd and teacher at heart. I made the fish and Jackson was so proud of his rock....it made me laugh.

The Best Fort Ever....

I know it seems like forever since I have posted, but we had a crazy week. Aaron and I were getting the house ready for Alyssa and Tanner, our niece and nephew, to come home. Aaron went to court last Monday and we received permanent custody of them. I went from only having one kiddo in January to having 4 in August. CRAZY !!!!
Alyssa is 16, Tanner is 13, Jackson is 5 and Dalton is 11 weeks today. He slept through the night for the 1st time on Sunday. He made it from 10:30pm until 6 am YEAH!!!
The boys built the "The Coolest Fort Ever"....Here are a few pictures.


No Girls Allowed....that includes Mom too!And while the boys were building Alyssa was on the computer.... Girls......




And here is Dalton and his baby blues.... I am so excited that he has blue eyes!!!
