We've had a visit from my niece and nephew this week, so it has been five children and me, all by myself! Those are not good odds! I can hardly keep up with counting heads just to make certain they are all with me, much less keep up with what they are all doing. Luckily, they are all good children and for the most part are well behaved.
We had a quiet Fourth of July at home with food cooked on the grill, fireworks and sparklers, and Daddy with us for four whole days. What a treat. Grace exclaimed to me, "Mama, this is the best Fourth of July ever!" And it was.
Jasmine and Aaron came on the 6th and have been staying with us off and on since. They are so cute and have such a good time here that they don't want to leave to go home with Daddy. Marcus doesn't have three built-in entertainment systems at his house named Micah, Callie, and Grace so of course, it is not as much fun at his house, as it is here. But part of their fun is country living. They have played in the yard and with the dogs and cat. They have played volleyball and basketball. They walked up to Mama's and played in the pasture. They had to sleep on air mattresses on the living room floor and what kid doesn't love to do that? They have been able to do so many of the things that kids love to do and unfortunately, living in the city, they are unable to do. I hope they are making lots of good memories to take back to Orlando with them. Enough to last them until they come back to visit!
