Friday, Nate and Candy left to go to California for the weekend. I had their 4 kids for most of the day on Friday and then Candy's sister took the Friday night for the rest of the time. So I had 10 running around my house for the day. They watched a movie and then ate, played for a while, had reading time while I put the little ones down for a nap and watched more movies, then ate some more. By the end of the day, I was a little frazzled and relieved to send them back home to their aunt. (No offense Candy, I would do it again for you in a heart beat!)
Saturday we met up with Candy's kids again at the park where there is a ground level water area for them to play in. Then we spent the day getting our house back in order. I even pulled out the trundle bed in the boys room and got it set up the sleep Beauchene there. He did pretty well his first night sleeping away from his momma.
Today we went to a really good fireside about emergency preparedness. I learned my weaknesses and what I need to do to be more prepared. For one, I don't have any cash on hand. I need to make out a will. I was definitely motivated to do better.

what a great new header! and the side pics, too.
having 10 around can be a lot of work, but i bet the kids loved it.
if you get that cash, just make sure you remember where you put it - adam got some for us and it's hidden so well we don't know where it is!
That water park looks like it's in the middle of nowhere. I'm glad there are places to go where the kids can be kids. How much cash did the person recommend? We keep some in our emergence car kit but it usually gets used for babysitters.
