that’s how many kids were at my house last night when I walked out the door to go to my soccer game – – I did feel a little guilty leaving but I did leave cause my husband can handle 21 kids all by himself – can yours?? 🙂 I remember when Ben used to worry about me leaving him with Benji and then with Benji and Packer but now he doesn’t think twice – he can handle them as well as I can. I love it. Last night was a 5 month old, 15 month old, three 2 yr olds, one 3 yr old, three 4 yr olds, two 5 yr olds, and I lose track from there – the other ten kids are somewhere in the 6 – 11 range. Bottom Line is … my husband rocks!

Today I vacuumed popcorn and organized toys, folded laundry and cleaned bedrooms. Ben worked outside for several hours and the kids were back and forth ‘helping’ both of us with rolly polly catching and kite flying and video gaming in between. Rose was crying in her swing a few different times, her siblings were able to calm her down so I could keep cleaning. One time I caught Cali down reading Rose a story – it was so cute I had to grab the camera – I was to slow though – she had put the book away and started singing to her 🙂

The girls are taking late naps. Ben took the boys to McDonald’s. I am watching some March Madness and putting my feet up for the first time today. It feels good.

I do wish these guys were still playing...
