I got a ton of stares, comments, and finger pointing because people thought they were all mine.
I drove a mini-van. (I seriously can't wait to get one. I loved it.)
I'm pretty sure I did not sit down once in 3 days!!!
The bathtub had way too many bodies in it each night, but they had so much fun! (Except when Kirra pooped.)
I had an 8 year old and 6 year old who were ANGELS!
-All 3 carseats were always buckled and unbuckled for me.
-They made the beds.
-The 3 kids 3 and under were always entertained.
-They had quiet time while the younger ones napped.
What we did:
*Had a bunch of laughs feeding the ducks at the duck park.
*Grocery shopped. (Yes, with all 5 in tote.)
*Watched The Other Side of Heaven for a movie night with the older girls.
*Partied it up at Chuck E Cheese.
*5 children took their turns washing and vaccuuming the mini-van after a LONG move by the Cardon family from California to Texas. (That was entertaining!)
*Swam our hearts out at our community pool/party and went down the waterslides too many times to count.
*Had a dinner picnic in the backyard. (Much easier clean-up.)
We seriously had a blast!!!
Tavin can't wait to see them on Thursday when we go to the Children's Museum.

How fun! Who's kids were they?? What's nice is now their parents owe you. :) You'll have to go vacationing with Brett. That's what C-Jay and I do with some of our friends.
BTW I also read your toilet drinking post. Oh my gosh, I almost died. That's sooooo funny . . . . gross . . . .funny!!
Wow glad you had fun! Sounds like the kids loved it!
Oh my goodness! You have been one busy momma! Sounds like the older girls helped alot and you had lots of fun together. So are you going to have 5 kids? I think I'm done at 4. So much work... I swear I never sit down until 9 pm most days. Love being a mom, but 5 might send me over the edge! hahaha! Love the pictures. Your little Kirra is a cute girl! BTW got her outfit at Target for $6.30 on clearance! Gotta love Target! :)
Wow! Glad it was an enjoyable experience!
Sounds like fun...except the poop in the bathtub part, lol that made me laugh! Around here you would not have even got a second glance toting 5 kids around lol...that's normal!
youre brave. but i bet having the older 2 helped out a ton. i wish i had 2 older girls! lol... great job!
You did it! You're such a brave and hardworking momma! I bet it was a big help to have the older ones, huh? Uh, did you say you can't wait to get a minivan? Now, Melissa, that's where we draw the line! Personally, I told Dust I would NEVER drive a grocery-getter. NEVER. EVER. (Okay, just don't hold me to that when I have more than one kid....)
You are one tough cookie Meliss!
