Less than 24 hours after Hannah received a little package from me, I received a thank you card from her. Now that's speedy. It almost defies the laws of postal delivery, but since she lives down the street from the post office she can take advantage of the last pick up of the day. Thanks Hannah!
I actually had 8 kids here today for several hours! It worked out well though so I'm not complaining. The girls played Hello Kitties at the kitchen counter, Megan took a 2 hour nap again, and the boys (this time another neighbor boy was here too) played Game Cube and played outside. I'm surprised by how well they all did and how it didn't feel completely crazy.
This is Megan taking herself to my bed for a nap. I love how great she is about sleeping. At 2:00pm I said, "Megan are you ready for a nap?" She said, "No" but then grabbed her blankie and kitty and walked to my bed. I cocooned her in comfort, kissed her and said "night, night" and that's all it took. Brilliant.
Whitney had her 2nd soccer game tonight and it was so exciting. She seems to have caught the vision since last week and had 5 drives to the goal and scored once! I felt a little teary watching her because of her progress and because I remember how I felt when I played soccer and I loved it so much. One funny thing she kept doing was turning to look at me for directions. She would wait for me to tell her which way to go or whether she was doing a good job. I was surprised by this, especially considering how she told me not to talk last week. I think she ended up having lots more fun this week and liked playing. Woohoo.**How do you feel when your kids play sports?
Have you been taking lots of pictures lately?
What does a cavity feel like? I think I've got one.**

hannah cute addition on the card. you and i need to be neighbors!
i take at least 30 phtos a day. weird huh. i am now having this feeling that if my house burned down i would want to remember what everything looked like. but because i have smugmug i have a great place to put them. i love smugmug. i wonder why more bloggers don't use it, interesting. where do they store all their photos? hmmm.
wait this is a comment not a post.
have a great day jill! you are such a great mom and aunt!
I was so excited to use all the cute stuff you guys sent it was so easy to get a card together. I love how close I live to the post office- even though I hate that they don't have a machine.
So glad Whitney is getting the groove of soccer. I can't wait for Mya to be old enough to start. So exciting for Whitney!
I go in spurts for photos. I think I have already taken at least 40 today, but other times a day or two will pass without a shot.
Oh- and the cavity thing, I usually get a really bad ache when I eat something sweet or really cold. Like a shooting pain. I hope you don't have one- but if you need a dentist, I LOVE my new one.
EIGHT kids for SEVERAL hours?! You are a champ! I'd ditto on Hannah's explanation--you never had a cavity--you are kidding!! I have the worst teet and I think Sophie has inherited them. We're just starting soccer for the first time in two weeks--I'll tell you then. But yeah for Whitney!
Wow, I am so impressed with you...you have had a houseful for quite a while now!
I am so glad Whitney is doing well at soccer, it is a fun sport and sounds like she is really catching on!
I want to start our son in soccer, what age do they usually take them? He is 3 years old.
We are actually starting the soccer practice thing today. Jared has been geared up to go for weeks. He is sooo excited. Can't wait to see how he does in a game.
Way impressed you were able to keep eight kids without going CRAZY! What a woman you are.
As far as the cavity thing goes its much like Hannah said shooting pains with cold or heat on it. I had so much pain one time I was up crying, had taken a vicoden (Left over from a delivery) and I was still is tremendous pain. Hope yours doesn't get that bad.
Photos photos photos. Take them all the time!
Hang on. What does a cavity feel like? Does that mean you've never had one? Good grief. I've had so much dental work done, it doesn't even phase me a bit. I sure hope my kids don't have my awful teeth! And I hope you don't have a cavity.
Sometimes I'll take 2-3 photos in a day, sometimes 30. It just depends what is going on, I guess.
So glad Whitney is getting into soccer. Way to score a goal, Whitney!
Hannah, I was totally planning to copy Kristi's card, too! So cute.
I've had cavities before, but that was when I was a kid and going to the dentist every 6 months so I never felt them, the dentist just discovered them and filled them. This last time I went to the dentist in May they discovered multiple cavities but I haven't gone back to have them filled because I'm afraid to have my wisdom teeth out and don't want to do all of this, hence I'm now experiencing tooth pain. I'm retarded.
