Babies and puppies and cats. Oh my!

This week end I had six of the grandkids at once. The oldest of the group being 6. Add to that nasty weather that requires you to bring in two very large pups, along with the two house dogs. Now take it one step further and let four cats into the mix. Oh and let’s not forget one of the cats is due any minute now.

I did manage to snap a shot of them together even though you can tell Morgan is trying to escape.

Morgan fed Dum-dum a whole box of cookies. We “skated” in the kitchen. (meaning sock feet and slick floor) Played cowboys and listened to Nathan tell Melany I was dating Santa and he knew cuz he met him.

yeah, and we made a trip to Wal Mart somewhere in there. Managed to get the kids through there and then stopped for hamburgers and chicken nuggets at Wendy’s. The kids did amazingly well but, I still think I’d been a dead duck had not Heather agreed to go along. ;-)

By the time I got the things I had bought put up the kids had their clearance isle toys and prizes from the kid meals strung from one end of the house to the other. Then I find puppy land mines. Oh joy! I love cleaning up after pups that poop like horses. (If you are reading this Jaci, I hear you ringing in my head and still don’t know what I was thinking lol)

The kids were up until well past midnight. All but Morgan that is, she was bound and determined to not waste one minute of her visit on sleep. ;-) She yakked with me til 2am then got back up at 7. Ahhh… we had time to ourselves. I played with her on the computer, then sang to her while she hugged me tight. I was Queen Bee for about an hour and a half that morning. :-)

A friend of mine stopped by to check in with me and spent most of the time laughing at me chasing babies. (I think I was griping a bit by then) Then he said. “You’ve had babies in this house ever since I can remember, you wouldn’t know how to act if you didn’t have them. You aren’t fooling me grouch.” I had to laugh at that while cleaning up the latest spill and admit he was right.

I wouldn’t want it any other way. :-)
