Playing the role.....

of mother of FIVE.

My sister went on her much awaited honeymoon - ten years late.

So we had the joy of taking care of her kids while they were away.

I've tried to keep them busy, but not too overly tired.

Water wars, community swimming pool, bowling, bbq's at friends, fireworks,

harvesting green beans, snow peas and blueberries, making numerous fruit salads,

puppet shows, dress up and dance performances.

Just to name a few.

Meet my additional children for the week.

Here's "K."

She's sweet, determined, and a bit of a mother hen.

Then there's "E."

She's a little on the ornery side, but a great helper and wonderful friend.

Finally there's "M."

He's the definition of an introvert, but is silly and oh so fun!

In case you're wondering where my girl is.

She was taking some much needed zzzz's.

Friday, I will be back to being a mother of 2.
