That's how long it took me to get these kids to bed tonight.
we started at about 7 and it is now almost 10 and they have just barely fallen asleep.
I'm... wow.
I mean, who'd have ever thought it'd be this much work?
you put them down, they get up. you firmly state that if they don't stay in bed you are going to scream, and there's this evil insane little laugh that follows a statement like that.
Savannah pushes Chloe down. Zach is running around naked. Griffin is calling Dylan names. Griffin and Dylan commence pillow fighting. Dylan gets hurt and starts to sob because Griffin landed on his "stubbed thumb". Chloe decides to start screaming. when I ask her why, she starts to laugh. Zach is still unclothed. he throws the trash bag at me and it splits open. Griffin puts chewed up fruit snacks in Dylan's hair. the list goes on.... you get the picture.
4 of them did sit out in the hall and read scriptures with me today though. I loved it, we read Alma 26. I think they didn't really understand it too much, but it was nice to read with them. it felt nice. then we came back in, and the chaos continues.
I'm just a baby sitter. but I do enjoy this.
However, I think i will now think twice before having 12 kids.... at least twice.
ooh, yesterday i went to the beach. i love the ocean. it's so tranquil, i could just sit there and stare and get lost in the beauty of it all. I feel so relaxed at the beach. Tomorrow is party time! it seems that summer is a never ending party.... seems a little shallow but i'm very excited.
welll... good night =)
