just so you know...

....there are 8 kids at my house this week. Yes, 4 of them are mine. But the other 4 boys (yes, all boys!!) are the children of a sweet couple from our church. She surprised her husband with a surprise party for his 40th birthday and then drove off and told him they weren't going home - she planned a week away for the two of them! So I have all their kids - you all know how important I think time away is!! - and we are having fun! Managed to get 6 of them up, fed, dressed, and off to school by 7 am this morning. Picked 1 preschooler up mid-morning and he headed to storytime with my younger two. Caleb's taking his nap now and then the afterschool pickups will begin. Oh, and karate for 2, hip hop class for 1, then dinner, baths, and bed by 7:30. :) Fun fun. but now you know i won't be getting the blog updated this weekend either!! Sigh!
