5 wonderful children....

Ok...so it finally HIT me this morning that I have 5 children and 4 under the age of 4. YEP...I AM NUTS!! So, at 7:09 this morning they were all still sleeping and I did not have the heart to wake them up, or maybe I was just enjoying the piece and quiet. That was probably it!! I love quiet time. Anyways. We need to leave the house no later than 7:40 - 7:45 in order to get Tate to school on time. Since he brought home his report card and it showed 7 tardies I have been trying to make it a goal to not have so many. So by 7:15 this morning Shaelee wonders out of bed, then finally I decide to wake up Emilee and Tate around 7:20, but they did not want to get out of bed. It was great. Needless to say he was about 10 minutes late to school this morning and I have not yet made it to Costco today...which was at the very top of my to-do list for today. Now, I am going to go after I get Tate from school....with my 5 wonderful children :) WOW...5 kids!! I cannot believe it!! They are all well worth it though (it's a good thing, too :)

Our Trip to the Orchard...

So, Tad worked on Saturday and I ventured to the orchard with all the kids. Had I known what to expect I would have liked it better. We went to the Gilcrease Orchard, which is in Las Vegas. I did not know until after I unloaded all the kids that you could drive through it, which I should have done. So between Shaelee saying she is tired and very hungry, and Emilee telling me she can't walk cause she will fall and get hurt, TJ falling asleep and Tate asking 1,001 questions....I HAD ENOUGH. We were there for an hour and all the trees were pretty much picked over. All that is in season right now is Apples, Pears and Pumpkins. People were only leaving there with pumkins. After all that we dedcided it was time to go and meet Daddy for lunch. It was quite an adventure.
