These are my 5 girls I have been taking care of the past 4 days!!:) Our good friends the Gardners went out of town and asked us to watch their 4 girls and feed their 2 pets!! I was excited and a little nervous to take on the task of so many kids..I mean come on..somedays I barely get a shower with 1 kid!!!:) It was a race each morning trying to get Mckinley ready for school & to the bus stop, the babies fed and bathed(there were 3 kids under the age of 2) and Reagan to gymnastics and pre-school!! Then each night having dinner on the table, have the 3 kids get baths, homework done and in bed HAPPILY sleeping..that was the hardest task of all!!! WHOOOOOO!! Just typing it makes me tired:)
All in all we survived watching these 4 darling girls and we actually had the time of our lives!! (Brynley had fun too, but is REALLY glad to have our 100% attention back!!):) They were so fun to be with and giggle with...Reed and the girls were CONSTANTLY teasing eachother(their nick name for Reed was "stinky Reed" and he deserved it..he is such a TEASE) Reed and I have always wanted a big family and this was definetly an eye opener too see if we could do it someday!! I'm not so sure about 5 kids now....j/k just not 3 under the age of 2!!! I didn't have enough hands to hold them ALL at the same time when they needed!! Reed was such a great helper when he got home from work and who knows maybe someday we'll have 5 of our own!! YIKES!!!!:)
Brynley and Reagan playing with "spike" the bearded dragon!! I wasn't too excited about feeding this little guy...we had to feed him 8 real crickets everyday and clean out his poop..oh and give him fresh veggies everyday too!! Luckily it wasn't as bad as I thought and Brynley acutally liked him too!!(doesn't mean I would ever get one..no thanks)
Brynley LOVED to watch "sparkle princess" swim in her fish bowl!! She constantly would ask "shish...shish" she wanted to get up on the counter and look at her!!! I think we will have a pet of our own soon...I don't think a fish for a pet is too hard to take care of!! Plus if they die..we send them back into the ocean with their mommy and daddy!! Thats what you tell your kid right?!!:)

Looks like you had your hands full, but if anyone could do it you could! They all look clean and happy! I am impressed!!:)
Wow. you totally deserve an award for taking care of that many kids, and so young too. You are amazing! Well I am glad things are going good for you guys!
I am also impressed and I feel your pain! It only gets harder when they are older - the homework is much worse. I have spent at least 5 hours doing homework projects with Kelly this weekend, I went to 2 baseball games, one 2 hour soccer tryout, a primary activity, a family birthday party that was a 45 drive and 4hours of stake primary. Kevin was out of town all weekend so I was single mom. Unfortunately the house is a mess and the kids ate old pizza all weekend. But in another two hours the weekend will be over! I cannot wait because I am tired! Give those babies a kiss for me - and what is up with Reed's crumb catcher.
haha you are so funny and amazing 5 kids WOW you go girl! I love your new picture on top of the blog very cute
You are insane to watch that many kids. I would be pulling my hair out. You are such a great mother. Hope to see you this week at girls night.

Wow!! How nice are the two of you to take care of all of those kids. And brave too!! I am proud of you for not freaking out with the lizard. Brynley's face is hilarious in that picture. Did she really like the lizard?! (I was wondering about Reed's crumb catcher too)
Holy Moly Kat you are amazing!! You are the only one I know who would survive that many kids that weren't your own! You are such a great friend to everyone! I'm sure those girls miss you like crazy! Cute little Brynley, I'm sure she was ready to be your one and only princess again! Way to go!
