“You guys should have your own TV show!” Our
waitress stated.
I was eating dinner in IHOP, just
me and the six kids. We were waiting to
pick Greg up from the airport after a week-long business trip. The waitress couldn't believe they were all
mine; she made multiple comments to express her shock. On the other hand, I was very impressed. Andrew, at the opposite end of the table was
eating his food, mostly sitting in his seat, and not bothering anyone. Void of dramatics, Kate was waiting patiently
for me to cut up her pancake. Emily was
content with her gogurt (such a healthy dinner). Natali
was being a wonderful helper while I spoon-fed Lily, who was actually not
screaming between bites. Oh and Mack, he was just doing his thing, as usual. One of the last
times I took all six kids out to dinner alone Emily barfed all over and Lily
screamed. I was ecstatic that things were going this
well.
“Are we
really that strange?”
“Well, there are just so many of
you.”
Good observation. As I left the restaurant I was reminded of
how crazy I must look to many people. But,
tonight I am enjoying a little less chaos since Greg and the boys are on their
way to Yellowstone. As part of the deal,
Greg left his computer so I can finally catch up on blogging. I will not give into the temptation to watch any several hour long BBC movie based on my favorite English novels. So here it goes. The following pictures are entirely random
but since they had no other home they are landing on the crazy lady with 6 kids
page…let the blogging begin.
May: After the tornadoes in Oklahoma my kids baked a bunch of cookies and brownies and made fresh lemonade as a fund raiser for those devastated in Oklahoma. They made $75 and were so proud of themselves.
May: Kate's kindergarten graduation. She loved her teacher Miss Dahl and still hugs her everyday when she gets to school even though she is a big 1st grader now.
July: Kate loves to take pictures with my phone and loves to pose Lily. Most the pictures are blurry or scary but this one keeps us laughing.
