Day 2 with 7 children

Today was sort of a repeat of yesterday...VBS in the morning, then lunch (chicken nuggets and cheese), then babies to sleep...while the babies slept (including Gage) the big kids played on the waterslide again.


Maddi got tired of the waterslide earlier than the rest of the crew so she sat on a towel infront of me and picked me "flowers" and we chatted about much of nothing.

Then the babies woke up and we had a snack outside...popsicles! They were such a welcome relief from the HOT weather we had today. Gage, Hunter, Carson, and Eva

Enjoying the COLD popsicles...Maddi, Gracie, and Toby (yes I know he has scissors in his hands...I took them away right after I snapped the picture!)

Ummm...It's Peanut's 10th Birthday! He is actually my first "baby" even though he has disowned us about 1/2 of the time now because my in-laws pamper him with soft dog food and spoil him rotten! Sorta don't blame the poor dog...he's the smart one!

We let the chickens out and well...the McMahons were not real sure about all of these 10lb birds walking around near them. We finally did convence them that they would not hurt them at all...they were just drinking water and looking for bugs.

Hunter STILL was not convenced...he clung to Brad for a good long while. He was finally ok with them.

Eva and Toby sitting in a tree...Ha. Cute pic of the 2 rugrats though!

The late afternoon ended in another golfcart ride with Slick where Hunter got to drive the 4-wheeler and Gracie got to drive the golfcart for a short little bit...it made each of them very proud and happy. Then Carson got to drive one of the golfcarts home...which made him proud and happy too. Afterwards we all down to the pier with Slick to watch Carson go off the zipline. We had put it all up this weekend but Slick was out of town and Carson really wanted to show him how he could do it so good.

We all watched Carson on the zipline then headed in for a HUGE ritual of baths and bedtime. Goodnight to all...I'm worn out. Gotta keep up with this crew so I gotta get to sleep at a decent time tonight! Oh and we had 239 at VBS yesterday and 242 today...woohoo!
