I bravely took on two extra kids yesterday morning while Sara and Tim spent some quality time with Cecchin baby #3. (Grandchild #7 for Mop and Pop!) They got some amazing ultrasound pictures while I tried to control the chaos of six kids 3 and under at my house.
It probably didn't help things that I offered the four "big kids" lollipops at about 10am. It was a quick diversion that led to even more chaos.
Check them out celebrating with some lollipop "Cheers!"
And, about two minutes later, racing at top speed around the obstacle course of baby toys that we call our house:
Later, when the sugar highs wore off, we:
- had a great discussion about babies living in heaven before they're born. They live "way up high above the clouds, so you can't see them," according to Joey.
- fought over a little red car (we do have some boy toys around here!)
- witnessed some more loving/hating between Bridget and Clara - lots of poking and scowling going on
- clipped everyone's fingernails except Clara's - I think she was playing the piano at that moment
- had one pee incident (Bridget)
- reorganized our master bedroom closet (not me - them! You can imagine the result)
- finally watched about 10 minutes of Max and Ruby while I made lunch - ahhh, sweet silence!
I figure I owe Sara about 20 more mornings like this, since she watched Megan and Bridget almost once a week when I was pregnant with the twins. Maybe I'll dip those lollipops in some Benadryl next time :) Or, resort to cartoons immediately!

You are either a very brave woman, or were certifiably nuts when you said, "Sure, what's two more?!"
I bow to you.
