Saturday was another full day at Casa 2 with the older dozen. As luck would have it, I had 12 extra candies from baking earlier in the week. If the kids behave during the week they get to watch a movie on the weekends. Candy is always great at the movies!
I don't think I EVER looked this excited to go to church when I was 2 or 3!
This morning these two girlies came to church with me. I am going to try to have a rotating schedule with the kids on Sundays here, since unfortunately I just can't take 24 babies with me every week! This morning another tia pointed out that these two girls had been on their best behavior so far this weekend, so they were easy choices for today. Throughout the year I want to make an effort to take kids along as often as possible to get them out of the Casa for a little bit...they love going anywhere - grocery store, airport, you name it, so it will be fun to try and take advantage of these opportunities. I will say that I feel like such a mom sometimes - before I leave to go places instead of remembering my phone, wallet, and keys, I now have to add a whole new checklist: diapers, bottles, snacks, change of clothes...(the reason for always needing a change of clothes was emphasized later this afternoon...) I've got to get a bigger purse -aka a diaper bag!
After church, Jennifer and I took the girls out to lunch. All went well until the younger one was picked up out of her chair to leave...and she proceeded to throw up...all...over...! She's fine now, but what an end to our outing!
Sidenote - Code Blue in Nashville today - if there's a time I wish I was going to be at the coliseum this season, today's the day. Go Titans!
Also, the founder/director of Casa de Amor, Jennifer, leaves TOMORROW until January to take a very deserved break at home with her family in the US. She is leaving us very organized, which we're thankful for, but things will look pretty different around here without her. Have so much fun, Jennifer - relax, enjoy every minute with your family, and know we'll be counting down until you're back!
im interested that you seem to be doing quite a bit of lifting now even though i could never convince you to do it at home. you're holding two boys in one photo. how do you osteoarthritic bones handle that?
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that the kiddos will still get out while I'm gone (other than to the doctor or lab)!
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting here in Santa Cruz for my next flight, so far so good in immigration, accompanied by a little explanation...!
Thanks so much for everything! =)
savannah, take the packaging tape out of your purse and you might have room for the diapers
