SO since Monday night Jord and I have been taking care of Kira's kids (Jord's sister). Anyway there is four of them. The oldest is a girl. Then 3 boys. Their ages range from 9 to 2 (i think). They are very well behaved, but it is a lot more work taking care of them then just Jord and I. Homework, practice, field trips, bigger dinners, lots of baths, keeping them on task, helping them clean up after themselves, waking up in the middle of the night with a crying baby not knowing whats wrong, and he can't tell you.
BUT
There is a lot of stuff that makes all that 'hard stuff' a lot easier. Like when two little boys ask me to sing them a song before bed, or when the baby wants me to rock him to sleep instead of someone else, or when they come and tell me all about their day, or want to ask me questions, or just a simple thank you for pouring a bowl of cereal.
I have baby sat lots of times for my brothers and sisters. It was just for the weekend so it was easy. Mom's (and dads) are the bomb. It is more then a full time job to keep a house running. Thanks mom :)
