3 Kids Short

3 of our "Pirates" are spending the week in Houston at "cousins camp" with their Nano & Granddaddy. (Rick's parents). Every year they take they take the 5 older grand kids

(ages 10-14) on a big trip somewhere. Then they take the 5 smaller grand kids (ages 3-8) to their house in Houston. They have gone to the Zoo, the Children's museum, swimming to the Horse Farm etc... The babies (Cooper and Lauren, another cousin) will have to wait a few summers to get their turns.

So you may be thinking what in the world am I doing with only 1 child?! Well I have cleaned 4 bathrooms, did all the laundry, reorganized and rearranged the playroom getting rid of tons of junk. And now I am left to wonder, what do people do with only 1 baby? Its so easy. There is so much time to get stuff done and the house actually has stayed really clean. Its kind of nice. Even though I do miss the chaos of our big family its a nice, quiet change for the week.

So THANK YOU to Nano, Granddaddy & Aunt Melissa for keeping the "bigs" for us this week. We have enjoyed going out to eat & playing board games at night.

These pictures were taken at Disney (in June) after we bought them their swards from the Pirates of the Caribbean.
