...yawn...

Having three kids is a lot of work. Especially when you get two new ones at once. We are literally always busy. It's good, but we are tired a lot.

Last night was "camp out," a family tradition we started several months ago. Every Friday night we have camp out and we all sleep in the same room. We don't do anything fun and we have lots of rules, which Nia will rattle off---
-no talking
-no singing
-no whispering
-no laughing
-no making any noise
-no standing
-no sitting
-no kneeling
-no kicking your feet all around
-no touching anything

Here is what you CAN do during camp out--
-Lie quietly in your bed and go to sleep.
OR, if you can't get to sleep--
-Lie still (quietly) until morning

Sounds like fun, huh? Nia thinks it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. And I have to admit, it IS kind of fun... especially because the rules don't apply to Nick and I, which does incidentally irritate Nia to no end...

Want to say more but I am too tired...

OH! One exciting thing real quick-- we are going to Haiti! We are going down to the orphanage that Nick and I work with (www.haitianchildrenshome.org) at the end of October-- and all our billion kids are coming too... woo hoo.
