House of Kids
This week has been particularly fun and busy, as my 16-year-old niece has been here to help with Tara while I'm at work --- John returns tonight from a business trip. So that's three kids in my house! There is never a dull moment, especially when some of the neighbor kids come over too. I like having an active house. Yesterday I noticed so many pairs of shoes by the front door, it just made me smile.
So this is an entry about nothing, really. Except to make note of the piles of really cute teen girl clothes all over John's office (cleaned up by now!); the trip for ice cream at night; the shopping for clothes; the lotions and hair products in the bathroom; the frequent laughter of three kids; the stories I hear when I get home from work.
OK, also the screams from Tara who got caught messing with her brother's stuff in his room, the loud noise of Guitar Hero (who THOUGHT of that game??); the snacks gone in just days.
Hmm. Maybe I should have had three kids? Or maybe two is enough.

Nah, sounds fun. Especially when I'm facing the empty nest. It IS nice to laze around in bed, though, reading as long as you like...
hate to remind you...(not really, ha)
