Have you ever had the opportunity to sit in the middle of 5 seperate, swirling tornados? Well, I can only imagine this is what it might be like! HA! LOL! I’m not serious, of course, but I have the pleasure of having 5 kids in my house today! My 2 nephews and 1 niece spent the night here last night so that my sister and brother-in-law could go up to visit my grandmother, the one that I’ve written about in the 3 previous posts. I currently have in my care a 10 year old nephew, an 8 year old nephew, my 8 year old son, a 5 year old niece and my 4 year old son. What a whirlwind of action!! And of mess! LOL! And when you factor in the husband and the mother-in-law too, our 2 bedroom house is bursting at the seams! Don’t misunderstand me, I LOVE having my nephews and niece around and getting to do stuff with all the kids! I love them all, bunches!

I’m sure this day will hold its’ fair share of playing, fighting, having fun, getting mad, etc, etc. It will also hold some Halloween fun this evening! We are taking the 5 kids to Boo at the Zoo! All dressed in costumes, the zoo supplies you with a treat bag and you walk around to different stations within the zoo and get candy and see some animals and take a spooky train ride! It’s good family fun at a good family price too! So, that will be the big event to end our day because when we get back home, my sister and her husband will be home and it will be time to say farewell. Until the next sleepover……
