Look who's back.....

Jose came to our house Saturday and brought his two youngest siblings with him. Anna is 2 and Anthony is 1. We are babysitting the three of them until this afternoon. I was so excited to have Jose back. I've really missed him, the kids have too. But with 2 babies and a 2 year old, its been hard to enjoy anything! I've had like zero patients 80% of everyday. 3 kids in diapers gets old real quick. With Anthony whining 75% of everyday I pretty much want to scream.
I start a meal and an hour later I am just getting everyone fed and am finally getting a chance to eat something myself. Spoon feeding two babies, one at a time; dealing with picky Anna and helping the other 3 get their food is sooooo exhausting! Luckily Jonathan was home with me Monday & Tuesday to help and yesterday he got home early enough that I even got a nap in! ;)
I'm not gonna lie, it's kind of been a nightmare and I don't think I will do it again. At the same time, it has been fun to have the 3 here. I knew Anna & Anthony from our weekly visits, so I do like them. Anna is my favorite age of little girl. Getting to know her little personality this week has been fun. Jonathan loves her too! He started off annoyed with her and by day 2 or 3 he is wrapped around her little finger. She calls everyone she's ever lived with "mom" & "dad". It makes it that much cuter with all the little things she says. Like when I'm starting to load dishes, she'll run up ," Mom, I help you?", and anytime you hand her anything, "Thank you mom" in the cutest voice. She has the best manners for a 2 year old and speaks really good. When she'd find Mya's spit up on the carpet, she'd yell out, "Guck! Gucky mom! I clean it! (then she'd grab a wet wipe and scrub it up, all the while saying "Gucky, Gucky!") She is just down right darling. I will miss her for sure. I'd love to keep her!

While playing outside, both babies pooped and I was too lazy to go get new diapers. Plus it was almost time for jammies. So I just stripped them down and let them air out. :) Jonathan thought we were total white trash and was worried neighbors would see out their windows. I thought they were cute! LOL

The kids have played well all week. Jose is back to normal and its just like he never left. Carlaya and Noah have taken turns sleeping with him each night. Carlaya asked me the other day why we can't just adopt him. :) We will miss him. But we'll be seeing him again for his birthday in a few weeks. I am happy to report he loves his home and his new foster family. They are also a possible adoptive resource. Teasing, I asked him who he liked better; Me or Missy? His answer?! Missy. ewwww, the little stinker! ;) But really, I'm glad he loves them.

Carlaya always says she can't wait until Mya is a little older and can play. Now that she has a two year old to reek havoc in her room, she's not too thrilled about having a little sister that age. She thinks Anna is adorable, but she does get really frustrated with her two year old ways.

I know a lot of people have 6 kids or more. But 6 kids at these ages?! It madness! Like 2 sets of twins, 3 in diapers and all age 7 and under!

This week has been interesting no less. I'm pretty much white trash mom in survival mode. We haven't left the house once. Sunday, we had to leave after Sacrament meeting, it was a nightmare. Last night, I left Jonathan on his own and went to YW's. He's so great- he got all 6 in bed and asleep before I even got home. Although I did take my sweet time, giving him time to do just that! LOL
