This has to be the most kids we've babysat, and with 3 of them being babies, i really appreciated the older girls who love babies! :-) Overall it went quite well. Didn't mix up any soothers, blankets, bottles, medications, etc. The babies were generally happy and content.
In all, we had 12 extra kids over (for a total of 16). It resembled a big birthday party (without the cake). The 9yr. old was at school but came before & after, and for lunch. By 4:00, half of them had gone home, the other two babies were sleeping, and it was pretty quiet in the house!
We didn't do "school" except that Brenden & I managed to get a good chunk of his program done before most of the kids got here, so that was a real plus. We could've finished up this evening, but enjoyed a game of Settlers instead. What a nice break!
The best thing about all of this is the evidence of how God has been working in my life & healing me! A few years ago it would've been WAY TOO MUCH, so i rejoice in the healing i've seen God do! (Not that i'd be asking for every day to be that busy, and i wasn't looking to break a record, but i can laugh about it when it just happens that everyone calls for the same day ~ and hey, i got a little extra tidying done in preparation, so that's a good thing!)
