Oh man...yesterday afternoon was quite action packed as I took care of all my nieces and nephews (minus Jack). They managed to get a long great and there were no major mishaps. Although about 30 minutes after this picture was taken, Hank got one of the nastiest bloody noses I've ever seen. It's never a good sign when you can see the blood dripping from the trampoline!
I even made them all dinner! I got out my largest pan and made a huge pot of mac and cheese. I included some apples to the side for some extra nutrition. I don't know how people have families this size? The kids were incredibly well behaved and there were no babies but I was totally exhausted. This confirms my plan of never having 6 children. I sure do love these kids though! They are hilarious and so much like their parents. I had fun making Valentines with them and jamming out to Michael Jackson. I think Lucy might have a thing for Dyson. Isabel was also pretty infatuated. Good times kiddies!
Now back to being a mother of two. These kids are amazing! They crack me up every day. Just put a Michael Jackson costume on Max, and you have an instant mood boost. I can't get enough. What two year old wants to sit and watch "This is It" for hours? That would be my Mino-man.
His baby, Jack, must accompany him on the couch as he watches Michael. He takes such good care of him. He makes sure he has a blanket and a bottle. What a random child I have!
Then there is my sweetest Hank who would die of embarrassment if he knew I was posting this picture. He insisted on making a Valentine for Nicole and hand picked the conversation hearts he placed in the envelope. "First kiss", "XOXO", "true love", and "be mine" were all included. We delivered it this afternoon in her mailbox. She is babysitting while Randy and I go out this weekend for Valentines Day, but he is too shy to give it to her in person.
He asked me "Do you think Nicole will make me a Valentine?" Oh, buddy I sure hope she does, how could she not with that face!

Ok. I was with you like an hour ago and I need your kids. Now. Hank's valentine is so adorable. Talk about bringing a tear to the glass eye. I'm sort of jealous of Nicole...what does she have that I don't????
And Max. Wow. His baby made a nice addition to my home this morning. Max talking to it when no one was looking was a great combo of creepy and darling. Just what I like about that kid!!
You really are the aunt of the year. I'm afraid I'll never be able to steal your title. Ugh.
hahaha i am dying about sarah's comment ..." Max talking to it when no one was looking was a great combo of creepy and darling." Oh my gosh I cannot even get the image out of my head, hilarious
6 kids seems like so many when they are all so young...but I have to say that they look perfect sitting around your table, kinda like it was made for you to have six kids...
Your so great! Thanks for taking my kids and helping out! It means alot to me! I heard about Hanks nose (actually I think it was the first thing Colby told me when we got home) dripping from the tramp? OHH.. scary!
So did Nicole make him a Valentine?
If I would've known that you were watching all those kids I would've dropped mine off too. Let me know next time you're tending and we'll see how you do with 9!
Mother of 6? I was getting excited for a minute. I kindof like the thought of 4 more little Griffin's running around... hmmm???
