The last two days I have had morning duty with the babies, although it starts out with all the children together. First on the agenda is breakfast, which I have no pictures of because every hand is busy feeding children. Second on the agenda is shower/bath time for all the kids, once again no pictures due to busyness of everyone and also due to all the naked jaybirds running around. (No way to get an appropriate picture.)
Little Miss L says, "I'm good to go, Ate Mindi!"
After breakfast, bath and dressing the kids play for a bit before the bigger kids line up to go downstairs. The last two days they have gone for a walk before going to school time. While they are lined up waiting to go downstairs the bigger kids get their vitamins. They are so excited because I brought gummy vitamins with me and they think they are like candy! (Thank you Sondra!!!)
Here is Miss A showing me her vitamin.
Miss R needs a turn, although I never actually saw it as it was held tightly in her hot little hand.
Little Miss W needed to show me her vitamin also. Before I came with the gummy vitamins they were getting liquid vitamins. (Poor kiddos! Liquid vitamins are yucky!)
Little Miss L is not big enough for gummy vitamins yet so she still gets the liquid stuff but she takes it without too much trouble.
After vitamin time they left for their walk but they can only have 5 children per 1 adult while on a walk so some had to stay back with the babies. We worked on puzzles today during that time.
Miss R is pretty good at these.
The B man and Little Miss J were working together... or it could have been that Miss J was taking the B Man's puzzle pieces. I'll let you be the judge of that one. :p
Mr. R works on his own puzzle. He was very serious about it and did a great job with just a little help every now and then.
Baby S gave advice from the sidelines.
The J Boy tried out the swing again to make sure it still works today. It does!
Then, after the bigger kids got back from their walk and the big kids who stayed with the babies went down stairs, we pulled out the special pop up tent for the boys to play in.
Can you tell how Mr. R feels about it? Probably not, he is so shy. =)
Mr. D chose to relax under the stars ceiling fan.
The B man and Mr. R.
Mr. D
Can you see what Mr. R is about to do?
Finally Ate Mindi was done (notice I said nothing about the boys being done) so we headed to the table for some drawing time. Mr. D and Mr. R headed downstairs with the bigger kids so it was the B Man and J Boy coloring with me. I think it was the first time for both of them.
Look at the excitement on his face!
"Are you sure this is ok Ate Mindi?"
The J Boy's turn.
He didn't do much coloring this time because he mostly wanted to eat the colored pencils. Ate Mindi just kept helping him make his mark on the paper.
While we were upstairs the bigger kids were done with school time and were playing outside.
Mr. D noticed me taking pictures out the window and thought it was funny.
Baby J is not quite ready to walk on her own but she loves it when someone will help her.
"Hey! Someone is tickling me!"
Baby C is awake and ready for Ate Mindi to pick him up.
He makes the funniest faces and gives the best smiles when it's time to get him out of bed!
Sweet Baby S likes to play with her hands.
A rare smile was bestowed upon me while the camera was on! She smiles a lot but as soon as the camera comes out she usually stops.
The big kids come back upstairs for naptime. After nap they spend some time with the babies again until they go downstairs for snack time.
Miss R was giving Baby S some advice about taking care of your toes. Baby S paid very close attention!
Bigger Miss J helps Little Miss J to stand up.
Miss A says, "See you later!"
