It's amazing how nice it can be to have an older daughter sometimes. Maybe not so great for her always, but I sure appreciate. Yes, the fact that Kevin and I got pregnant just a few months after getting married is starting to pay off.
We went to good ol' micky D's tonight after soccer practice. I know, not the greatest dinner, but hey, that's what happens when you're up at night with a baby and a toddler with a stuffy nose, so you're exhausted, and you don't get around to making dinner cause your just plain lazy tired from taking care of kiddos all day!;)
Well anyhoo, we went through the drive through, cause there's no way I'm dragging four kids anywhere I don't have to! They forgot Kevin's burger, and I checked after we left the window, dang it! Thus making it necessary for me to haul all four kids inside for a stupid hamburger. :(
Then I realized I have a seven year old. :) Yes, she was able to run in for me, while I watched through the window, and get Kevins very nutritious (heheh) dinner and save me a HUGE hassle.
Yes, having older kids will be nice. I'm sure for many other reasons that this, but for now, I'm gonna take what I can get!

I bet that was nice! And I bet she liked being able to do it all on her own! I am starting to see those pay-offs slowly around here! Won't it be nice when the can babysit the younger ones and you can run to the store really fast if you need to!! Is Jaden sleeping any better! Hope Lexie feels better soon!
Don't feel bad about the dinner! We did that twice already this week. Tyler was out of town and so I didn't feel like cooking!
yay! that is fabulous!
i love having my older girls around! they are so helpful! just wait, at 11 she can babysit her siblings and you can actually leave the house for an hour ALONE!!!! i have my big kids buckle the littles {and unbuckle} which makes car rides so much less work for me:) sometimes, i even offer a dollar to whomever will change a poopy diaper for me!! hey if you're gonna have a big family, you gotta find ways to streamline the operation!
I look forward to that day. Of course I'm not sure if a big brother is as helpful as a big sister.
That is exciting. Halli is such a big helper! Sorry you've not been getting great night sleeps
