A friend of mine had to go away for the weekend to a place that wasn't meant for kids. I volunteered to keep her kids for her so she wouldn't have to take them. She did pay me. I'm not that crazy. You think I baby bundled? Check out her load.
Ages: 4, 3, 3, 2, 1 1/2, 1
Hers are all girls, mine are all boys. I think some arranged marriages need to take place.
children in diapers: 3
sippy cups to fill: 6, over and over and over
toys to pick up: all of them times million
plates to dish out: 54, plus snacks
cribs: 2 . . .here's where I put hers . .
Yes, it fit.
Had them Thurs night through Sun afternoon. It literally took 1 1/2 hrs to get them ready for bed - 2 sets of baths, cleaning up toys, filling up air mattresses, setting up the pack-n-play - and all by myself. Chris works weeknights. Friday, we walked to the park (can't fit all in my van) and Melissa met us with her two to help me out. Saturday, we stayed at home, but Sunday morning, Chris and I took them to McDonald's (took 2 vans) and the park. I wonder what people thought. Chris called us the Brady Bunch, the younger years.

I was a little nervous taking on this endeavor, but it turned out not being too bad. The little ones all napped, everyone had a place to sleep, everyone behaved (as much as this age group does). It was busy, but doable.

those are some cute little girls! You will never forget that weekend. I still remember the 3 days I had 6 month old twins in addition to an 18 month old by myself...and that was just 3 kids!
They really are all so close in age. Wouldn't it be neat if just one set did get married in 25 years or so:)
Did it make you want to hurry and have another one right away?!? I bet you burned some big time calories - unless you're like me and dropped on the couch and ate a bowl of ice cream as soon as you got the last one in bed! =)
La, that's funny. Turned out, when preparing food for 6, by the time you get the last one's plate ready, the first one wants 2nds. There's never a chance to eat, except for when they've gone to bed. Perfect time to eat, right?
So cute! Looks fun.
This was so hysterical! I love, love, love the pictures and comments. Can't thank you enough!!!
