Beautiful Sound

Well, 5 hours ago the girls came to the house. And as soon as they did, the volume level of the household went up 50 notches at least haha. It's so nice having more people in the house. Sarah's always telling stories and making jokes (and talking about poop), Tyler's always trying to prove what a tough guy he is, Grady can be somewhat of a woos and is definitely a momma's boy, and Logan just tries to one up everyone, no matter what it's about, she usually does so by yelling, and Becca sits around sweetly and makes noises and entertains herself when she's in a good mood. But when she's hungry or tired, oh man! She'll grab at anything!! Phone chargers, candles, toy hamsters, fake flowers, the blinds, people's hair...ay yay yay. Oh, but I got the dates for the Colorado trip confirmed today! They're leaving on July 7th and coming back a week after that. So, yeah. I'm glad it's towards the beginning of my time with all of them, cuz then the rest will be a piece of cake!! Or, so I hope.

I made a deal with Sarah that every time she says the word "poop" or anything that has to do with it, she owes me a nickel. At first it was just gonna be a thing between the two of us. But after today, I've decided that I'm gonna do that with all the kids! And not just limit it to poop, but include anything having to do with diarrhea and butts as well. These kids are out of control! One's talking about how everything's poopy, another is calling people butt-faces, others are making other booty jokes or slapping each other's rears, oh my! It's a mad house here! But I must admit, the yelling and laughing and running around really is a beautiful sound :)

And that's life through the eyes of a banana munchkin.
