Some Women Are Dripping With Diamonds

If you've ever seen the Annie movie, you may remember a song that Miss Hanigan sings. 

Some women are dripping with diamonds
Some women are dripping with pearls
Lucky me, lucky me
Look at what I'm dripping with . . .

Little girls

I feel a little like Miss Hanigan this week.  Our dear friends R. and T. had a getaway for a few days and we get to take care of their daughters who are seven and five.  They are GREAT kiddos!  However, I've learned that jumping from four to six kids is a bit challenging.  We keep running out of kid plates and have had to separate the older two from the younger two at night due to too much giggling.  :)  The nice part is that the girls are also homeschooled, so they fit right into our routine.  And their mama packed three meals for everyone plus daily schoolwork for them, so it helped quite a bit.

One funny moment: last week Spunky told me that she had figured out glue works really well to stick things to the fridge.  We had to have a big talk about why we don't do that, of course.  So yesterday we had a Mad Hatter Tea Party and the two big girls wanted to surprise me.  Bright and early in the morning they tidied up the downstairs and put up little teacup decorations that they made.  It was so sweet!  . . . until I figured out they had GLUED the teacups to the walls!  And the cupboards.  My eyes must have gotten really big when I discovered it, because Spunky was quick to point out "But don't worry mom; we didn't glue ANYTHING to the fridge!!" 

Sometimes there just aren't words. :)
