Playing Hard.

Ok Crazy baby went to bed last night at 10p and decided to wake me up at 4:57a. I fed him thinking he would go back to sleep but no. So fed him more.. Still awake.. Noah woke up around 730a so I put Adam in his high chair and gave him a few cheerios and just like that out like a light. Geez if I knew it would only take a handful of cheerios to put him back to sleep I could have gotten a couple more hours in.


Today I picked up Shira and Caleb and headed over to Annette's house. Fully packed Van with 5 kids in it good thing I own a van. Well we headed over to Annette to hang out and relax and let the kids play Hard. They were all over the place. Shira was so excited to see her best friend Kylie and took off as soon as we hit the driveway. Isaac, Noah and Caleb also took off checking out Annettes. After a snack of yummy fruit (cherries, blueberries, raspberries, grapes, and apples) and veggies (cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, cucumbers and tomatos) and homemade "Garlic Bread" along with some sparkling juice to drink we got the kids in swim suits and outside. They bounced on the Trampoline with the water hose spraying on it from the net. It was one of the large trampolines that are meant to hold water and bounce. Looked like a blast. The kids were on there for a long time playing and then we blew up the water slide and they played on there for a long long time. It was great to just let the kids go and be kids and have fun and no cares in the world. After a while we ate some chicken and watermelon and then got the kiddos back into dry warm clothes they were all turning blue and wrinkly. Unfortunately the day ended sooner than the children would like. Annette and family were on their way to Chicago for Zoe's Memorial tomorrow in Hyde park and I needed to get Shira and Caleb back to their foster moms and I needed to get my kids home and bathed then we are going to have a movie night. All in all it was a great day thanks Annette for having us can't wait to do it again.

Nick has drill this weekend so he is gone and with that they have also changed his AT to be a day earlier so he will now not come home Sunday night and have to go back Monday night he will just stay the whole time. We are also not sure if he will be able to come home for the weekends or not. So I was not really prepared for a straight shot through so now I need to get back into only mommy here mode. Whew... Well off to go bath the babies and then popcorn and movie here we come. Enjoy the photos.
