In my house you will currently find seven sleeping children ages 14 months, 23 months, 4, 4, almost 4, 6 and 8!! We have just completed week one of what we are calling Cousin Camp 2008, and there is one more week to go. It has been both wonderful and exhausting to have our extra family members here! I put up a few pictures on our gallery of the things that went on here in week one. We hope to enjoy more fun times in week two before Grandma arrives to take the Williamsons back home.
A few observations:
- It takes a long time to get everone in the car!
- I get some crazy looks when I am out and about with 6 or 7 of them!
- The most exhausting moment of the day is dinner time!!
- At 8:30 on Sat. morning Brian and I were sitting down to a pancake breakfast after all 7 had finished theirs – this is a result of little ones waking at 6 something each morning!! Even on SATURDAY!
Week two should be fun!
How you found time to post Mandy’s Monday while caring for 7 children, beats me!!! You go girl! Love from a great aunt of those 7.
We have had a camp cousin at our hours for 8 years now- we just do it for a long weekend, we have 12 grandchildren but only 10 are elgible, have to be potty trained. This year we are having it at home with water slides, pools, water balloons and all the trimmings. Last year we went on a swamp tour, year befor the circus, – we try something different every year.
