Life with Lizzi: Part One

We have the privilege of watching "Little Lizzi" while her family is away at youth camp and today has been one of the most fun days of the summer! It started with Lizzi coming with us to the Finn's pool day for our "Mommy and Me" swim day. However, it was anything but a "Mommy and Me" day... we ended up with almost 30 kids ranging 6 weeks to 11 years old! Everyone is busy serving the families that went to youth camp so families that would typically have 2 kids had 3 others from families that went to youth camp. It was a FUN filled pool day and all the kids got along wonderfully! Then... we hit up the wonderful Chickfila in our area that is going broke with all it's free giveaways that our church totally takes advantage of (every Monday night for the rest of the summer they are giving away free Chickfila sandwhiches... you're guarenteed to see at least 7 or 8 families from our church there eating together!) They were giving out free kids meals today so we all got free food and played some more... however, that part was crazy with not enough seats to go around and me trying to nurse Aubrey in the midst of all the craziness! Luckily, Lizzie is a HUGE help and did a great job being an extra pair of hands for me! We came home and Mackenzie slept while Lizzie and I watched a movie and then our fun continue when we made zucchini bread together and did a craft project while we waited for Kenzie to wake up. The girls played great together the rest of the night... sword fighting with Jake and Stephen and playing kitchen together. Then they brushed their teeth together and got in princess pj's and they are currently "sleeping" in Andy's room: Kenzie in her pack and play and Lizzie in her pretty sleeping bag on Andy's bed. I can hear Kenzie saying, "Lizzie, Jump! Jump!" and her pack and play is nearly falling through the ceiling! Lizzie is obediently saying, "Backenzie, it's night-night time, Shh!" I'm looking forward to tomorrow morning... wondering how late they'll sleep and what the day will hold!
