You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. Desmond Tutu

Now that the kids are back in school. I have 5 kids home.  Jason starts school on Monday, so you have to wait for his 1st day pictures.  This is is tower of cars he made today. He is pretty bored without the big kids home.  

Becca took this beautiful photo last night. 

Mia likes to make sure the babies are entertained.  

Captain Underpants  I am so proud.  

Can you guess the kid?

How about this one?

The house was super quiet, which is a bad thing when you have 2 two year olds.  But this is what I found.  How cute are they playing together. (I actually stood and watched them for a while then decided I should get my camera, I run super fast, get back and they were wacking each other.  So much for my beautiful moment.  Oh well, at least the photo is cute.)

A big rain storm. 

These 2 silly girls ran out, had me take their picture, then they ran back in.  

This is half of a back to school sleep over.  I love makeovers.  They are so pretty.  

My view

We have been doing a lot of this.

and this.  

They love to touch each other.  They always manage to squirm around until they are touching.  Sometimes more than I want them too.  S.  ended up on N.'s head.  N. slept right threw S.'s temper tantrum. 

 I think I need to photo shop the spit up draining out of his mouth.  Gross.

My after bath view.

My favorite thing in the whole entire world.

I love when kids take the camera.  Becca did her side of the room . . . 

and Cassie's side.  ha ha

And yes, my baby is wearing makeup.  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
