Babysitting in Vegas

Erich, Laney, Allie, and I drove to Vegas yesterday.  Shortly after arriving at my brother Casey and my sister-in-law Kamy's house, they left and we were put in charge of Cade (6), Claire (4), and Chloe (2) plus our own two.  Here is what the past day and a half have been filled with (in no particular order):

backyard
pizza
assembly line bathing and pajamas
why does allie have to take a nap?
share
park
cookies from aunt barb
bedtime
piano practice
books
duck, duck, goose
apple juice
shrek 2
wii
why is erich still sleeping
push me really fast
swing me
lots of dishes
5 carseat/booster seats (I don't know how you do it Courtney)
homework
i'm hungry
airplane rides
laughing
dancing
cuddling (especially with Chloe)
hugs

We are having lots of fun.  We hope Cade, Claire, and Chloe still like us on Thursday when we head home.

5 kids? You could totally do that. Ally is getting quite old, you know.
We'll miss you tonight at presidency meeting! We're starting to get ready for the new year. Ugh.
