All in the Family

So I have been a little MIA this week.

Its not because I haven't missed all of you.

Its not because I have been too busy cleaning toilets and doing dishes. Although, Lord knows I NEED to be doing that.

Its not because I have been otherwise detained in potty training my darling almost-two-year-old. Nope, not likely.

Its not because we left a few days early for our much coveted, much anticipated vacay.

And it is DEFINITELY not because I am pregnant again - which caused my previous leave of absence. You know, because of the crazy meltdown I had over the thought of raising THREE BABIES. Nope, that didn't happen. At least I don't think I am....

No, no, no, I am not with child, not cleaning, not vacationing, and not potty-training. Nope. But my kid intake did grow a little bit this week...
It was a case of the cousin invasion. Uncle Josh and Aunt Kristy spent seven relaxing days in Mexico soaking up the sun and getting some much needed R&R. We however, got the privilege of hosting their three little munchkins.

I am not going to lie. It was a little crazy at times. Morgan, the oldest, is quite the little helper, and Mimi and I put her to work often. Bless her heart. Mason, the only walking boy, got sick mid week, which added a little more craziness to the mix. Addie, the brunette in the bunch, had a case of the sniffles, but mostly played the role of high-heel wearing, baby-doll toting, and keeping Peyton in-line.

They are all three precious, and my children adore them.

It was, however, a little nuts, which is probably why I haven't blogged in a few days. Not to mention, I only snapped like three pictures all week long.

I did capture one outing though. The splash park.


Silly girls.

This was an all-girl outing because, as previously mentioned, Mason was a little under the weather on this day, and Stone, well, he was napping....

We did have it all to ourselves though. Which is probably the ONLY reason i thought to whip out the camera.

We did do some other fun things though, I swear. The kids went to a dinosaur museum, the park, swimming at the pool, church, sno-cone stand, Chick-fil-A, multiple trips to the grocery store, the movies, and a slew of other Mimi-approved activities.

Wouldn't have traded this past week for the world. My kiddos ADORE their cousins and were sad to see them go. I am hoping I get many more times to take care of these precious six.

I. Need. A. Vacation.
