-a pair of Ty's jeans
-a very cute baby who can now sit by herself

You have to beleve this list, I have seen it to be true! Sheryl just calmly cleans up what is necessary, when it is necessary. I would be pulling my hair out. The kids, K, D, E, T, E and B are so lucky to have MyMy for a day care provider!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Sheryl expects the kiddies to help clean up and they do,. as only well trained kiddies do
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, what are you doing on the computer at 6:45 AM, Diane?? Must have had to get Jen up for an early appt. Kelley wondered why I was up at 10P the other night. I know I'm not a night owl, but 10P is still a little early for me to be in bed.
ReplyDeleteSheryl, I don't know how you keep your sanity with that many kids around. When I keep Madison, it often takes me a half hour to get the place back in order!! She can go through the house like a tornado in 2 minutes.
Hope you all have a good weekend. Trev and Taylor will be stopping through tomorrow on their way to a concert in Fargo. Yay!!
Bev and Diane, Thanks for your comments...I get excited when I see that someone has written a comment (pathetic, I know...I really need to get a life!). Bev, I know exactly what you mean about the "2 minute tornados". They can sure wreck havoc in such a short time. When A, J, and D still lived at home, there was always a string of shoes, backpacks, sports bags, etc. strewn through the house. I knew that someday that mess would be gone, and I'd miss it. Well, I'm happy to say that I still have a mess, and I love it!!!! : )
