the most insane play date EVER!

My sweet friends Katy and Kara came to visit this week, bringing their kiddos. Between the three of us, we have 8, ages 4 and under. Four of them are all within two months of each other's age--Jordan and Erica (Kara's twins, age 15 months, Jono, age 14 months, and Katy's Sachi, 13 months.) The four toddlers are pictured below.



In other news, that's our hero, Esther, handing out the goldfish crackers. Esther is the sister of a good friend of mine. Lisa (my friend) suggested Esther when she learned that we that we were looking for full-time help for me with the kids. Esther's been with us a couple of weeks now, and plans to be here through October. We love Esther!
