It's been busy adding another child back into the mix. The little guy I'm watching now is almost 3 months. He's overall a pretty good baby, but he takes an hour to drink one bottle. So needless to say, between feedings for him and for Anthony, meals for Anna and Anthony, diapers for Nathan and Anthony, potty for Anna, and some playtime, I don't have much time to do anything.
Thankfully I've gotten him onto Anna and Anthony's nap schedules. So most days, I have 2 hours where all three kids are napping. I designate an hour of that to myself, I read or check FB or Pinterest or whatever I want. The other hour I use to try and find order in my house, dishes, laundry, cleaning, picking up, whatever.
We had our St. Louis trip to weeks ago. Then last weekend we went up to Wisconsin for our Godson's birthday party. We spent the weekend with them and had lots of fun. It's fun to watch the kids start to interact with each other. Theodore and Anna had a blast playing together and they're still too young to fight over toys :-).

We've also had multiple trips to the pumpkin patch. Anna LOVES it and so do I :-).
On Tuesdays I watch my niece. So Tuesdays are busy days, but fun, I have Anna (19 mo), Anthony (6 mo), Nathan (3 mo) and Cecelia (almost 2 mo). I'm glad that I get to spend one day a week with her and I'm really glad the cousins get a day to play together. Today I managed to get all four kids down for a nap for an hour. Here's what my house looked like today:

busy busy!
Only 3 weeks until I have 5 kids 3 and under 50 hours a week! AAAHHH!
My goodness woman! You are my hero! I struggle handling an 8 mo old and Luke who is 6 mos old for 6-7 hours once a month. I don't know how you do FOUR kids! You have some mad coping skillz. And simultaneous naptimes?!?!? AWESOME!!!
(ps - my word verification was NAPSym ... how funny is that??!??) :-)
Seriously, how are you sane? And what's your secret? Whatever it is, please bottle some of it and send it my way in about three weeks.
