I think it's soccer?

Check out all of the parents out on the field trying to get their young ones to play, including James with Brooke. What we do for our kids!

So I enrolled the three oldest kids in soccer!! Braden is a great little player. (I will post pics of him later) The girls think that it is a spectator sport. They much prefer to sit and watch. Every game they become more and more willing to be on the field. Hopefully by the end of the season they will play more than a minute of the game!! At least they are having fun.

Swimming Pool Wanted!?

When Megan came inside looking like this, I wondered what was going on outside. When I went outside I found that Braden had come up with a brilliant idea to turn the sandbox into a swimming pool. Turns out, the sandbox was built well, the water stayed in it for almost a week. The kids had a blast.

We love the Zoo!

Brock, Megan, Brooke, Ashlyn, Grayson, and Braden enjoying the rhino.

Thank goodness for season passes to the zoo. It is one of our favorite past times. The kids never get sick of it.

Can School Start A Little Bit Sooner?

I never thought that I would say that, but I am ready to have a couple of hours during the week with only 1 child. These past couple of weeks have been miserable. My laundry is out of control due to sick kids, my housekeeper wouldn't come while the kids were sick, therefore my house is a mess and we started soccer. Yesterday I think was the worst, we were quite busy during the morning, so they kept out of trouble, but the last 3 hours before James came home was horrible. There is coloring all over the fireplace and walls, drywall compound plastered to the freshly painted bathroom wall, and poop on the floor. By the time I cleaned up one mess the other one was happening. I am fearing what is going to happen today. Two more weeks, can I make it?
