Children Children Everywhere!

So I couldn't write last night cuz Buddy was sleeping in my room and I didn't want to wake him. We had Cloe and Brigham sleeping over which created chaos for bedtime. Brigham and Cloe both had fevers so they went down quite well after the tylenol kicked in. Our kids were all sorts of crazy. The kids were in the boys room Preston and Izaac were nomads. I told Izaac he could sleep on the couch but he wouldn't settle so he ended up in Coras bed upstairs. Cora had issues with growing up and kept coming out of Avas room, that they were sharing, bawling and stressing out. Ava kept going to the bathroom and Preston kept sneaking out of my room. All in all it was a busy night and ended with Ava and Preston in my bed. They were good cuddle buddies so I'm not complaining.

Mom and I went in after the kids got home from school and picked up Adriens car from the shop and Met Riley to pick up the kids. He had a dead battery and needed a boost. Everyones cars are falling apart, hopefully yrs isn't next, well it really was his fault for letting his kids watch movies in the car for an hour while waiting for piano lessons. We got the extras but right away Brigham said he wasn't feeling well and was acticing sick. He gets really nervous about sleepovers so we wondered if that was what was causing the problem but later that night he had a nice fever and so did Cloe. We put them both on Izaacs bed because it has a plastic sheet on it incase they threw up and all was good. Earlier I made dinner for everyone while they all played around the house. They ate dinner and we went straight into the Piñata which was a nice success. We used a rolling pin to hit it with and when Adrien told Ava to use two hands(like with a baseball bat) she grabbed both ends of the pin and tried to roll hit it. It was pretty funny. As soon as they were all candied up we hit them with the Ice-cream cake. They rolled out the door sufficiantly sugared up. Our group of kids watched a movie then went to bed as I have already described above.

This morning went alright, not much happening and lots of kids playing. I took the recycling to the depot, helped Dad fix a phone and checked out Grandmas new apartment. Then came home, made lunch, sewed some stockings, Riley came and got the kids, Made some dinner, Baths scriptures/Prayers and bedtime. I finished another cross-stitch as well. I only have five more to go:( that sure seems like a lot. Perhaps because it is.I am Almost finished Jens kids and only have Pattys 5 to go. but she hasn't even had the 5th so I think I am good for a moment.

Izaac and I are going to attend the Quebec temple Dedication tomorrow. We are attempting the 6:30 session. it starts at 7 but they close the doors at 6:30. It should be an interesting experience.


The last thing that has been consuming my thoughts is trying to work out a plan to get Ashleys family up for Christmas. It is exhausting planning each leg of the journey and nothing seems to be working out as well as it should then each time I think I have a solution they say it won't work. It is hard when they have nothing to help out with not even a reliable car to get them to the train station. I am trying not to be such a downer about it all. I feel like I am just being a realist but that is pretty much a downer anyway. My mom is so desperate to have them here that she doesn't care the cost but they have nothing to start with and this fact doesn't seem to bother her. I feel like it is frustrating to watch. I am planning on paying for the train tickets and letting mom figure out how to get them to the train station. The train is the majority of it anyway so hopefully it will help.

I had better head to bed if I want to be up and attentive for the dedication.
My mouse is being wonky and it is driving me crazy and won't let me write or click on anything I may have to invest in a new one. I don't know why it is acting up. Weird.....

I love you more then Neil Armstrong loves the Moon.
