Six kids!

Kelly and Ed left behind two of their kids this weekend while they ran to Wenatchee and back. We had a super-busy, packed Friday night planned before I realized that I had the Driskill kids, so it was a bit of a balancing act, which at one point included Joe taking five of the kids to a Lacrosse game by himself. But we pulled it all off and had a great time.
Unfortunately, and it really goes without saying, I didn't have a lot of time to catch it all on camera, but I did my best:

Lunchtime - everyone orders up something different of course!

Will, fixing my "broken" door yet again. Jack being wingman.

The most difficult part was trying to keep Jemma entertained while protecting her from Ben (he was a tad bit jealous of her - but she did take over his crib, steal my attention, and drink a bottle in front of him. . . .)

Mom and Dad picked up all the girls on Saturday so we took the boys bike-riding which was really fun. Jack had to wear a princess bike helmet and pads, and protested a little, "You really need to buy me my own helmet."
"Well," says I, "I'm not your mom, so. . ."
"You are!" says he.
Surprised that he forgot about his mom in 20 short hours, "I'm your mom?"
"No," says he. "My mom's name is Kelly." Right.
And then while I was pushing him around on Will's old bike, he hollers out, "Waaaiiiiittttt a minute! . . .I'm dettin' the 'ang of dis!"
He's such a cutie!
