My niece and nephew were over again today. It is nice to get to spend time with them, when everyone is getting along.
Everyone doesn't normally get along on the second day they spend together in one week. Surprisingly, they did well today.
There was coloring time. They played ball, dress up and cars. Elizabeth gave JJ one of her pretend hair cuts. It seems like everyone had a good time.
The kids let me take a shower with no interruptions. There was no screaming when I had to go outside to set up car seats for the school trip. I saw very little bossiness or toy taking. I was even able to get Paige ready for school and make lunch with no problems.
What relief!
Before they came over, I cleaned the table from the breakfast messes, unloaded the dishwasher, cleaned some counter space and washed a load of laundry. Andrew even dug down and got all the floors cleaned up with the girls help. The house felt slightly presentable when they got here..
While Andrew and Shane were off scrapping, I washed the rest of the laundry and got it all folded too. The hanging things all made it onto their hangers! Made a menu plan complete with shopping list.
After Shane and his kids headed out, I finished my chores...
Put away all the laundry (I wish, more like some of it)
Loaded the dishwasher
Went to the grocery store
Started the dishwasher
Had the kids pick up their toys (Some of them)
It is days like today that make me think I can handle a few more kids.
