Let me tell you how my Saturday was supposed to go...
Get up and work...get the kids up....Karyl and Daddy and Uncle David go to Lowe's to build something...Karyl comes home and watches TV/plays...she takes a nap...I feed Freddie a few times and he sleeps...I finish working around 1pm...I take a shower (was going to do it while kids were napping)....Greg and David finish working in the back..I do some reading and cleaning while the kids are napping...so peaceful, right??
So, what do you do when 4 extra kids show up at your house when you're least expecting it and totally change your plans??
You improvise....
You make lots and lots of PB&J sandwiches and cheese sandwiches...
You break out that Costco pack of popsicles that have been sitting in the freezer in the garage....
And you thank your friends for being willing to come over on Saturday (even if it's totally unexpected) and work on your husband's dream backyard...
A HUGE thank you to Misi, David and "Neighbor" (yes, that's what Greg and him call each other...I've decided it's a term of endearment).
So, here I sit now...sweaty and unshowered...but feeling very proud that I was able to take care of everything and keep all the kids happy!!
Now I must go outside...there are children putting sticky handprints all over our sliding door =)

I have been told to "get used to the idea" that kids never go on the schedule you want them too! It looks like you made up for it though - and whats life without a little adventure and chaos!
