Earlier this week Hubby took Howard, Caroline, and Tracey on an adventure hiking and fishing, and I stayed home with the littles trying to get ready for some company.
The day was definitely quieter than when the big kids are home... but not really easier. Lee Lee and Hunter require constant supervision and/or entertaining but they do not argue and Lee Lee is not as difficult when she has more of my attention. The big kids argue more, antagonize each other, and often make messes -- but they also look after the little ones, entertain Hunter, look out for Lee Lee, and do chores and help pick up the messes they made.
All in all, it was great to spend the day with the little ones... but I did not get nearly as much done as I was hoping to.
