Where have we been??

This was the crew-I know no one is looking but to have them all sitting was all I could hope for

So it has been a little while since I have posted. Not a whole lot has been happening but we are busy none the less. Brayden enjoyed a snow day this week as well as Ron. It was nice to see how well Brayden and Becca still play together. They have their moments of course but fun to see them pretend together. The main reason for lack of updating is that I am on perpetual kid duty till Monday. Ron is out on a ski trip with some friends so myself and the kids are left at home having our own little party. We have been fairly busy-having a sleep over at a friends house, who also has two small kids-Yes, there is someone out there who doesn't seem to mind having three additional kids overnight!

The big event yesterday was an overnight stay at a local hotel with a indoor kiddie park/pool. The kids had a blast. Brayden never stopped running, jumping and just in general going crazy. Becca had fun going down a small frog slide and even the big tube slide. Andrea was her serious little self but loved jumping and getting pulled in the water. We got a hotel room with the Marsh family-minus their dad who is also skiing, making for a total of five little ones. For the record we had all kids sleeping by around 9:30-with no crying fits. Okay, we totally tired them out at the pool, but with two pack-n-plays, a roll away and two beds all full there is something to be said!

I think we were quite a site as at one point while riding down the elevator with all the kids the elevator made an unexpected stop. As the doors opened so did the doors of the other set of elevators directly across from ours. A lady with two small dogs-obviously her babies were getting on. Of course all our kids saw were the dogs and made a bee line off our elevator towards hers. I think she thought the kids all five of them were on a mission to kill her dogs by the look on her face. Funny thing is that myself and Marleny were not far behind trying to herd them all back in to our elevator...We didn't think it was that bad, actually pretty funny.

Tonight is another movie night-something the kids love, even Andrea loves getting her pillow and laying next to Becca and Brayden. Tonight she was convinced that her lovie was in the dryer. Funny, as it was just lost but the last time she couldn't find it I had washed and dried it-the things even she remembers.

Andrea misses her daddy!
