Well we just spent a fun week tending for some friends of ours while they went on a cruise. We, along with another family watched their four kids, and stayed at their house for a week. It was a really great time and was cause for a pause to ponder the fact that this situation was similar to the household that both of my parents grew up in. Sans the extra set of parents. We had eight kids in the house ages, 5 months, 13 months, 2 years, 4 years, 5 years, 10 years, 12 years and 15 years old. That is ALMOST physically possible. I have no idea how I would do that as just one Mom in the house! It sure is fun to have that many people around the dinner table though. Anyways, here is a picture update and some videos, as promised!

| Peanut's handiwork with no complaints from Cashew. |

| Brothers! |

| Puzzles at the library (this looks so serene until you hear about the epic tantrum that followed when I asked him to clean them up so we could go home). The best part was I asked Peanut to sit in time out once I finally dragged him to the check-out counter while I reserved our books. I obviously was not specific enough. I noticed the librarians peeking over my shoulder and I turned to see my punished Peanut scooting his way all through the library on his butt. The librarian so astutely commented, "Well I guess he is still sitting." |
 |
| The curtains I made. They still need to be hemmed. |
 |
| Sick little Cashew in his leg warmers, stealing the show, as usual. This little tyke has now had a cold for over a month and is sleeping terribly. We're exhausted but at least he keeps smiling. |
 |
| And speaking of sleeping, this one still sleeps like the living dead. Snoring up a storm. Oh and he learned to climb out of his crib this week, so last night we debuted the toddler bed. Heaven help us. |

My goodness, I can't believe how big Cashew is! They grow so fast. Give it a few more months and he'll be crawling after Peanut, just trying to keep up.
I love fits in public places. At least the librarian was funny. Your kids are so darn cute and Cashew looks a lot like you!
