We have had PamPam for 3 days now. It has been so fun for the girls! I have been impressed at how brave and confident this beautiful little six year old girl is. I wonder how Viv would fair under similar circumstances. The three older girls are sharing a room and getting along very well. PamPam says that so far this experience has been one of many firsts; first time in a house, hearing crickets at night, holding a sparkler, seeing live bees in a glass beehive, jumping on a trampoline, holding a chicken. They have been playing in our kiddie pool, running through the sprinklers, painting, singing, dancing, we went to a nature center, and have plenty planned for the next 4 days. We are so grateful for this opportunity to get to know this sweetheart.
The girls made us breakfast in bed! Scrambled eggs and a roll. Very sweet!
This is one of the displays at "Earth Place", a nature center that we went to.
A friend invited us over for dinner and a little fireworks show (clearly no restriction in this humidity like they have in UT).
The timing, I'll be honest, has been somewhat challenging for me. Adam is pretty much on a business trip, except that he didn't go anywhere, but he's unavailable to help out. On top of that, Noma has decided to not be potty-trained (*whimper of desperation*) for the last two days. So I'm beside myself trying to keep up with the mess of the 3 older girls' whirlwind of fun and excitement and Noma's accidents all over the house. Oh well : ) At least we are having fun between the messes, and at least I can (and do) resort to sugar therapy - both key to enjoying life.
What a wonderful experience for all involved! I was joking when I asked what company you just had...but you really do have a revolving door. Maybe someday we'll revolve through it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and neat opportunity to have PamPam stay with your family!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to see the brothers on your blog. I'm glad they were able to stop by.
