For a weekend in February, I got to play mama of 6 to my three plus the Rucker three while Chris & Jennifer headed out of town. Our kids thought it was the best thing ever and it's hard to imagine having an easier group of 6 kiddos. They match up so well and have been brought up so similarly (mainly because we've copied their parenting ;)), that is was seamless. Love listening to them together and can't help but pray that our kids always love having their friends over as they get older...
We split up for most of the day Saturday. The girls and I stayed around the house and started with some Valentine's Day baking and treat-making...
...enjoyed a fun girly movie...
...and fixed up "Sarah's" hair and makeup :)
Meanwhile, the boys spent the (whole!) day with B at the baseball field...super fun and sure to help them sleep well that night :)
The night before, I started wondering if it would be a little challenging to get to church on time with so many to get ready at once, but honestly it was great. It's so nice when all the big kids are self-sufficient and so quick to listen and obey. All ready in the car and on time...
Then we spent the entire afternoon playing outside, enjoying awesome weather and soaking up the remaining time with their buddies.
Truly such a pleasure...makes me wonder if we could do 6 all the time ;)))
