Fun with the Pauleys

Well this has been a very tiring weekend, but lots of fun. Chloe sang with the other kindergartners on Thursday evening at a PTA meeting. I didn't get to go because of working, but Dale taped it for me and they did such a great job. I am going to try to post a clip later so you can see. Chloe has really gained a lot more confidence over this past year, especially when up in front of people. Just remembering how timid she was on stage at their Thanksgiving singing as compared to this past week, it's a huge difference. So keep an eye out for that to be posted.
Then this past weekend we went over to our friends the Pauleys to house sit and to watch their 3 boys while they went out of town for the weekend for their 10th anniversary. They are the A team, Andrew 6yrs, Adam 5 yrs, and Andersen 3 yrs. So you can imagine how crazy it could be when you add Chloe, Caitlyn and Caleb. I could not imagine having 6 children all the time. WOW!
So we had an entertained but fun weekend and even made it to church on time with all 6. Yes I know that's hard to believe, especially if you know us well. Since the boys go to bed at 7:45 they get up bright and early. Yes 6:00 a.m. You read it right. And I am definitely not a morning person. So we were up bright and early. Made it easy to get us all to get ready, but I was so tired in church:)
Wendy and the boys had made some play dough for us early on Saturday morning. That was a life saver. They all loved playing with it. Here a a few pics.

Here is the crew. Starting with Caitlyn, Chloe, Andrew, Caleb, Andersen and Adam

Caleb was loving it. Chloe had made us a pizza.

If you look closely to Caitlyns forehead you will see the only injury we had for the weekend. She happened to run into a door that was opened in front of her with a little help from Andrew. So I thought we did pretty good.

Caleb making his pizza. They had 2 little tunnels that you crawl through. Caleb loved it.

By the end of yesterday we were all tired. So after Wendy and Fred returned we were all talking and I noticed Caleb wasn't around. I went looking for him and he was in front of the foyer door, laying on his backpack asleep. It was the cutest site. Poor guy was so wore out. I definitely had to get a picture of it. We had lots of fun and will be glad to do it again for them, just not in the next few weeks. I need rest:)

Here is Caitlyn with her crown she made at church. She was so proud of it.

Caleb after enjoying some pudding this morning. I think he really liked it.

Dale is taking Greek this summer so he is full swing into it. Just keep him in your prayers. Chloe is in school till the 30th then off a week before heading back as a 1st grader. She's excited. Caitlyn and Caleb are just hanging with momma, a tired momma at that. Caleb turns 2 next Sunday, so I'm trying to figure out what to do for him. I can't believe he's gonna be 2 already. That's all for now. Feel free to leave me a comment. I love reading them:)
