Kids and Fire
Is this the third or fourth weekend in a row where I’ve been alone with 5 kids for a significant portion of the time? I don’t remember, I just know that my home is showing the carnage and wreckage that children of that number leave behind and I don’t have enough time during the week to catch up. ::big breath::
It’s not all bad, I’m a sucker of course and say yes whenever someone asks to bring over a friend, cousin, strange kid from the supermarket, just kidding of course. It was just cousins this weekend. I almost had six kids on Saturday afternoon, but my sister must have figured that my 3-year-old niece would have been just a bit too much. My niece was pretty upset but afterwards I realized that she definitely would have pushed me over the edge.
I cleaned. If you could see my home, you would call me a liar. I did though, it’s not nearly as bad as it had been.
I also set my fence on fire. It would have burned to the ground had I not checked one last time before we left for my parent’s house. I had been burning weeds in the back yard and oddly, the spot I was worried about was fine, but another section was smoldering badly. I quickly doused it with water and prevented a potentially rather awkward row with my neighbor. It just looks bad on my side of the fence, not there’s, I think.

Having a ton of kids around is great...and stressful! There never really is a time when a house w/children can be clean except right after you clean, and ONLY if they are not home! LOL.
When you hear the termites in the wood sizzle you know the fence is well done.
5 kids?! I get nervous with the responsibilty. Depends on the age I guess. I laughed about the previous post - such a man thing about the roof and trampoline ;-)
Setting your fence on fire? Wow, you really are a cool dad! The things we do for our kids...
ya 5 kids is a lot, i am worn out after my one kid has a particularly energetic day.
