Hi.
Well, now it is my quiet time. My little ones are taking their afternoon nap. I have 7 of them today. Three nephews,Landyn-2 yrs.,Hunter M.-2 yrs., Hunter G.-3 yrs., 2 neices,Kyla-3 yrs.,Kadie-1 yr.(sisters), 2 grandchildren, Chloe-3 yrs. and Owen 7 mths. old. They can be a hand full sometimes. Kyla and Chloe get along good most of the time but there are times they get into arguements. You should hear some of the things they talk about just being 3 yrs. old. They talk about boy friends, going shopping at Wal-Mart, and make as if they're talking on the phone having the biggest conversations. They know so much now a days that I wonder what its going to be like when they become teenagers.Ha HA!! I hope the years don't go to fast by and I'm here to be there for them.

They both are in dancing and are doing well.They like to as they say "shake their bootty." Chloe is the oldest of all the ones I take care of, and she is always showing me how she is bigger and taller by standing next to them and trying to pick them up. She thinks she is the boss. She tells them what they can do and how to do whatever they are playing. Kyla and Chloe's biggest arguements come when they come tell me that one or the other doesn't want to play with or be their best friend. They can only have one friend at at time. I'm trying to break them from that and tell them you can have alot of friends at one time. It works for a little while, but not for long.

The boys usually go along with whatever the girls want to do but sometimes they argue and get their way. The boys tend to want to have whatever the other ones have, and instead of asking for their turn they just snatch it away from the other and say thats mine. They share better then they use to.
They all have such different personalities. When I put Landyn in time out or fuss, he gets mad. He puts his head down,stomps his feet and makes a face like I did't do nothing. I get on him for that so he can get out of that habit. Its funny how they don't listen when their moms come pick them up. They always tell me they don't see how I get them to do things that they won't do for them. Kids are too smart. It is sad but I really think they know what they are doing and they like agravating there parents. Maybe its because they feel they are abandoning them and are trying to get back at them. It is hard now a days to make ends meet unless both parents are working.
Hunter M. most times when you fuss him says one of the others did it. Hunter G. just plays it cool like Huh I didn't do nothing.
Kyla and Chloe like to whine alot when things don't go their way. One day they'll get out of that.

All and all they can be the sweetest kids and do whatever you ask of them.It is fun to hear some of the things they come out with. I love them all and enjoy having them here but at the end of the day sometimes it is time for them to go to have some peace and quiet.

One thing that I wonder about is how Chloe, being so young, knows that I'm her Meme even though most of them call me that also.She always tells them thats my meme.
She loves to come to church with us to see Jesus. I hope she continues to have a interest in knowing about Jesus.I help her say her prays when she sleeps over. One night Laine(her mom) said she asked her to say her prayers with her.Laine said she started to say God bless---Chloe said no mom not like that,so Laine started saying the Our Father and she said thats it mom. Also they went to the store and Chloe wanted the red gum in the gum machine. Laine said she couldn't promise her she'd get that one,well she did.Chloe looked up to the ceiling and said thank you Jesus because her mom said she had to ask Jesus for his help to get the red one.

Owen is the only little one I have had trouble with about digging except for Kaydi. With Kaydi I didn't have to pick up stuff but with Owen I had too because he just keeps going back. I had to pick up breakable stuff so he won't hurt himself.
Well thats it for now. The kids are up. I have to tend to supper which is just some gumbo from the freezer. I have choir practice on Monday and tuesday nights now during lent. Some of our choir memembers are singing for Holy Thursday and Holy


Saturday at St.Marys' church in Raceland and at Holy Savior (our church) Good Friday.When I get back I have to make 2 batches of fudge. I made 2 last night after practice.
