Been Busy...

I am sorry I have not really posted lately, I have just been so busy during the day that come night when I normally sit down at my computer, I am so tired I can not even type. I am feeling that way tonight, but I will dredge up a little energy to type a little tonight.

Yesterday was a big day for us and Jeff's sister and her family. They moved in with us. So now we have 2 extra adults and 2 extra 3 year olds living under our roof. This is really not too bad being that we have a whole "in-law suite" for them to live in. But I volunteered to watch their girls yesterday while they did some moving. They were here for a very short while in the AM while Jeff took them to PA to see Great Grandpa Young, or Big Pacca as Maddie calls him. They were gone for a few hours so I just cleaned and straightened messes that seemed like they would never go away. When Savannah took a nap I decided to do a little more work and then flop on the bed for a bit. I think I had my eyes closed for aprox 5 minutes and the kids were home. Jeff then informed me that is way my turn to watch the girls so he could do some yard work. Ok Ok ok... naps are always short lived around here! Anyhow, needless to say it is exhausting to watch 3 three year olds while they all want to do different things. We went from bubbles, to bikes, to swings, to ball tossing, to playing on climby things, back to bubbles, for a walk and everything in between. On the whole, the girls were all very well behaved, but let me just tell you how tired I was last night. Jeff and Harland took the girls in the hot tub last night before bed and then we all went in to pass out (even me.)

Madison is so very excited to have her cousins here everyday, but wants to go get them at 7am when she wakes up and wants to go to bed with them. I am not quite ready for the "sleep in the same room thing." But we will give it a try in Florida in a few weeks.

Here are a few pics from our day yesterday!
I personally love this picure of Harland. When he got into the hottub he had this silly grin on his face that was a mixture of... "this feels so great after a long hard day of moving and packing" and "I am so happy the new house has one of these." Believe me, Harland, winter nights are better than summer nights. I hope you can get your forever freezing wife out there with you! Looks like you are going to need thick bathrobes and slippers for xmas!

Did Harland dance for you? We're jealous they're not living with us. Gabriel needs a dance partner. Looks like tiring fun. Glad the weather has been so good.

I love that you put up pictures of the day! I LOVE handing the girls off for a while, but I hate missing out on what they're doing. We got so much more done in a shorter time period because of you guys!

And yes, Harland is very excited to have a hot tub. Actually, so am I. Know why? Cause they're HOT. Not like a pool..brrrr....

p.s. Tell Jeff we're loving the air hocky table. (wink)
