Busy Weekend

This weekend was a particularly busy one. I decided to have my sister and her 4 kids over for the weekend seeing as she just had her 4th baby in February and I had yet to see him. Not to mention I hadn't seen any of them since Thanksgiving. I'm nuts, I KNOW! It wasn't too bad, it was just like a zoo here. There were 8 kids at my house! Ages ranging from 2 months to 10 yrs old. It was so great to see her and the kids but I have to admit I was so relieved when the house was back to normal Sunday night. My oldest 2 kids were so sad to see everyone leave, they cried for like and hour off and on after they left. I feel so bad that we don't see much of them but we have such busy lives. I've set a personal goal for myself to try to get together with them at least once a month. I want my kids to grow up knowing how important family is. I never had a real close family being a foster child and losing my parents at such a young age, so I find that to be a really important thing for my kids to grow up with. Well like I said it was a crazy busy weekend but a good one nonetheless. Here are some pics of the kids.
