5 kids




Dave and I don't know how many kids we want. The ideal number is changing year after year. A few weeks ago, however, we tried out five kids: Sophie, Sabrina and their three cousins Stephanie, Kate, and Megan. To say Sophie loved having some girl cousins around everyday would be an understatement. Our days are quite less eventful now that they are gone.


I learned a few things myself about having five kids in one house. Namely, these:
1. We would need to make a lot more money to feed 5 hungry kids on a gluten free diet. One loaf of GF bread=1 meal.
2. I would need to make a lot more food. Bleh.
3. Five kids under one roof is actually much easier than two kids. They entertain each other.
4. Clean ups can happen more quickly when their are more kids to do it.... If they do it.


The first day they arrived, all three of the Hancock girls found something in Sophie's closet that fit them and they went around wearing her clothes. Little Megan especially loved wearing dress after dress of Sophie's. 



Our days were spent in lots of water environments, dancing to some awesome musics, and playing at some fantastic parks. 
We had some definite fun.
