-THE SKINNERS-

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, right??

I babysat my sister's kids from Sunday to Wednesday of this last week while she and her husband went back East. I feel I handled myself pretty well for having been ganged up on by 6 kids 10 years old and under. Although it was hard work getting kids off to school, homework done, bathing, kids to eat dinner, and babies to nap- it was worth it being in a nice spacious house with a backyard and kids for Dane to play with.
Mother of 6. Piece of cake!! jk. (Weston, Hayley, Scottie, Truman, Jason, and Dane.)
Dane and Jason enjoying some waffles for breakfast. They were great buddies during the couple of days that I was at the Wallin's (when they weren't biting, pulling hair, scratching, pinching, or yanking eachother to the ground).
The little kiddos hypnotized by Dora. Dane enjoyed his show from this angle.
I found a onesie on sale for $0.99 and had to buy it because it had my maiden name on it! I was so excited!


T-Rex didn't wanna share his pretzel mix. Even when he is asleep he is gripping HIS pretzels so no one else can enjoy them.

What a sweetheart you are, Carlie! I thought about you while you were gone. That's a big job, but it looks like you handled it like a pro!

P.S. I love the "stinky face" pictures in your other post!

You go girl! What an exhausting few days, but how much fun for Dane. I'm sure he loved being around a bunch of kids. I can't even imagine 6 kids.

Looks like you did a great job with 6 kids. I have to go watch my sisters kids in Idaho for a week...maybe you can give me some tips?!?

Kaymee said...

You go girl!!!! Your sis is lucky to have you!!! I bet you taught them all that you are their "favorite aunt" :)

Mull Family said...

Wow, you are a really nice sister! I don't know if I could handle that, but it sounds like you did a great job. And now, you have a favor to redeem when you and your hubby need a break from the kids some day!
