There once was an old woman who lived in a shoe.... You know the rest of the rhyme! This past weekend was a little crazy- I had 11 kids at my house. Our great friends, The Kemps, were in town and they have 4 kids...my three kiddos, my nephew came to visit, and then my mom had to bring me the rest of the grandkids she was supposed to be tending, but due to the sad situation with the Petersen/Newbys she had to ditch. 11 children! I had an aunt that had 13 kids...whew! The really good thing was my trusty sister-wife, Kamari was here and we tag teamed the domestic resposibilities. I did not make her pull weeds...this time she had to help with child crowd control. We piligged the heckout of the weekend.
We even took them out in public! In separate cars of course...nobody I know owns a 15 passenger van. We went to the movie and even braved Lagoon with 11 kids on a Saturday. CRAZY! It was a fun time... now I am off to the land of milk and honey to return the last 2 children, catch some rays, and have a great time with my sisters. 11 is a crazy amount of kids... It makes the five I've still got seem easy and my own three will be a breeze!

Hey, you won a prize on my blog. I need your address
11 kiddos, that's about seven more than I think I could handle. Ha-ha. Sounds like fun times.
You are a rockstar, 11 kids and maybe only 1 meltdown? You did good, you deserve to go and have some fun! So nice of you to watch your sisters kids while she had a little vacay!
You're my hero!
You are amazing!!! 11 kids is a lot of work and you took them out of the house which is double amazing. Have fun with your sisters :)
Amy Girl- you are my hero! I don't think I could have pulled that one off as gracefully as you. I am sure a good time was had by all! What a good Momma!
I've got to say, I don't think I would have stayed had I known what kind of a weekend it was going to be!!! BUT,it wasn't really as bad as it sounds, we actually had a great time. We always do when we come to stay and play with our bff's the Dalley's. Thanks for having us- AGAIN! Sista-wife you ROCK!

I'm coming back a week later to tell you I can't even believe you took care of 11 kids. You are one brave lady.
I think you need a little shot of Patron(a), after that weekend.
