Last week we were the caretakers for the Ashton children. Together with my children there are a total of 7 kids. They are all the same ages, except for Piper who is 3 almost 4. Needless to say it was a wild and crazy week. :) Here are a few highlights of the week:Last Monday while school was out, Mike took the girls up to the college hill where they went sledding. It is quite the rough and tumble ride from what I understand, so they were pretty sore and tired after that...
The girls all got these sweaters for Christmas and they thought it was pretty great to match! As a side note: It was a lot of fun to do five heads of hair every morning... Hee hee.
We spent the evenings watching movies and eating snacks...Anything to keep them entertained!
We had only one medical emergency that was able to be handled at home. Tess's earring had grown into the back of her ear. So, I had to remove the back of the earring with the help of a pair of tweezers and with Mike restraining the patient. We all survived, but it was pretty tramatic for all involved!
And finally, this was the best part of the day. It was such a wonderful sight to see 5 little girls all sound asleep for the night. ALL the kids slept really well the whole week. We had a LOT of fun and I hope the Ashton's will invite us back! :)
A highlight of the week for the kids that didn't have pictures:Lunch and Movie with Grandma and Grandpa Summers (Thanks to them for my break!!)
The girls had SO much fun!
