Things are going surpringly well. Megan just went down (without incident) for a nap--woohoo. She's done well this morning except that she's been harassing the girls a bit, had a poopy diaper (I haven't had to change diapers for 2 years), colored on the walls, and has made some serious messes. I vacuumed the messes and the girls cleaned the walls before I even saw the coloring (gotta love washable markers). So other than a mess the likes of which my house has never seen before, we're doing great! I'm not even twitching about the mess because I'm so happy that the girls are playing well together I'm just accepting it for now. It's also allowing me time to scan photos and update my photo galleries (I love doing that). Randy took off work half-day because this morning we thought he was going to have to take Whitney to the doctor for her stinging rash, but she's doing okay now so he went up to Salt Lake to help Adam and Amy some more (he's a good guy for sure). I think we'll end up keeping the girls until tomorrow evening if they continue to do so well. I'm amazed and thankful that I'm not feeling mental and that they're having so much fun.**What's on your agenda today?**

I'm glad it's going so well. Does this go along with what I think about expectations--the lower your expectations the better things will be? Hopefully it keeps up! Oh, and I'm so proud of you for giving yourself permission to have a messy house temporarily. With that many kids it's a losing battle. I know that probably took more strength than anything else.
I keep thinking I am getting a glimpse of your day and then realize that you just have SO many pictures you can recreate any situation!!!
i love chaos sometimes!! i think as long as my house is clean..let the chaos begin..then when it gets dirty..i make the kids clean it! heheh
your SO nice to help your friends like that!! hope they treat you to a yummy dinner!!
I'm with Amie- I feel a little bamboozled that these aren't current pictures and yet, very well could be what they are all doing!
It must be going well if you are willing to keep them another night and day! I've been thinking about you, while I fold laundry and organize my magazine clippings... let me know if there is anything I can do to help! Most the time, I just have more kids to add to the mix so, maybe help with the recovery- Cafe Rio and Target?
My day has consisted of getting up, eating breakfast, looking at e-mail,tidying up my house, taking the dog out, taking a nap in preparation for going to work tonight. Yeah!
