I've been in CA for the last 11 days, and Tyler has been home alone studying like crazy. Michael came home from his mission yesterday, and for the days leading up to his homecoming Tiersha & I babysat the 5 kids at home. Boy, was that an adventure. The kids are quite the group. We tried keeping them really busy during the day by swimming, playing on the ipad, making forts, watching Care Bears, and even going to the beach one day. The beach was such a GREAT idea. We stayed for 5 hours, and the kids loved it. And, they were so well-behaved. The highlight of babysitting was the one day when the kids all slept in until 9. We even checked on the twins around 8:45 b/c we had assumed by that point that they had stopped breathing.
Anyway, since Michael's been home, everything has been non-stop craziness. We've done lots of grocery shopping, several (and I mean several) trips to Target, Michael got released as a missionary, prepping for Tiersha's baby shower, went to Mallorie's baby shower, and did dinner and Pageant of the Masters with Dad and the other older kids. I leave Sunday night (and Tyler flies in Saturday afternoon) and I'm still looking forward to the beach (at least once more), Tiersha's shower, picking up Tyler, family pictures in Laguna Beach, and Michael's homecoming (which means seeing lots of family).
