We are here in Utah to spend the last two weeks with my parents before they leave for their mission to Argentina
Hannah and Chloe had their last sleep over for three years at the Park City house. I can't say anymore, I just don't want to start crying......
I have the privilege of watching Aaron and Brooke's 3 kids for a few days while I am here. I have been excited to see what life would be like with 7 kids. Lets just say if you have read the book, "If you give a mouse a cookie" you know exactly what life is like with 7 kids.
My first goal of the day was getting little Tessie to like me.
No problem a little guacamole and chips couldn't solve.
Followed by prizes
Then came 3:00 "free choice" hour. They all chose to "rest".
Did you know that it takes a whole loaf of bread to feed 7 kids cinnamon toast? (Don't worry, Luke was happy as soon as I trimmed the crust off)

This is when the night got a little crazy. Hannah and Chloe came inside saying they had laughed so hard they peed their pants. (a little suspicious I know) Once I got them in the shower, then EVERYONE wanted to take a shower. Soon there were naked kids running around everywhere. It worked out well though, we just got everyone ready for bed.
At 9:30 p.m. I was feeling pretty proud of myself that everyone was in their rooms and the house was quiet. That was until the cat starting puking on the carpet, and I broke Brooke's computer chair while chatting with Ray on Skype!
I am so embarrassed! Sorry Brooke, I will totally buy you a new chair!
Aaron and Brooke,
I hope you guys are having a great time in Europe. You have awesome kids! I was just telling Ray that I think we could have more kids, no problem. Ray says to tell you guys, "thanks alot"

hahahahaha
"Thanks a lot."
Looks like you guys are having a ton of fun. We are getting ready to brave a few days with all the East Coast cousins at our house in a few weeks. Guess we should start gearing up now.
It's good to view it as a summer camp type experience. The minute you think you might get anything else done other than entertaining children, is probably when you'll fall apart. Kids always remember stuff like this. Good job! That's really funny about the chair!
If anyone can have 7 it is you! Good job! I'm tired now.
Looks like lots of fun! You have great ethics...I would have blamed the chair on Tess. (just kidding :)
LOL! for real-- there are tears coming out of my eyes from laughing so hard. that chair has been on it's literal last legs for months. aaron always says: "this chair is about to break." so it wasn't you-- and you don't have to buy a new one-- and it probably was tessie's fault. i'm sure she loosened it up.
thank you for everything. you are the best and i love you so much and i don't know what we'd do without you. thank you for loving our kids so much.
and this is brooke commenting by the way...
Oh Brooke, you are too kind. You guys have such an awesome set up here, it really has been easy! I am not just saying that either, ask Ray you know he never lies! You guys just have good kids and I really am loving getting to spend so much time with them.
Have a great time on your cruise!
Sara, you are such a great aunt and mom! I am sure the kids are loving it.
