5 Insta-kids

One weekend in March this estranged and confused man showed up with 5 kids and no wife. He said he had driven all night, and his wife had left him in the middle of the night some time. Somehow all these cute, crazy hooligans won over the heart of the house grandma and they stayed for a while. We did lots of things while they were here, losing sleep among them:)Some of the activities include: Sexy poses in flowers, "deacon passing the sacrament poses" by the bloomin' tree,
"I'm too cool for smiling and flowers poses" by the tree house,
chillin' with the G-pa,
birthday parties,
splitting out the candle,
pinatas,(not pictured are fights over the pinata)Weenie roasts,
Marshmellow roasts

being held prisoner in the purple cage, "hey! who tooted?"

staring at the wood pile,
wheel barrow rides,


waiting for everybody to get ready for church,

army bros,
and golfing!
The estranged man collected his mind several days later, remembered that the kids were his, that his wife was actually planning on returning, and that he wanted them back, but only if we would meet him in Nashville. Even though, they're darn cute, 5 insta-kids with no routine is hardly relaxing. Heck, 5 noninsta-kids with a routine is hardly relaxing. Hats off to Nathan and Christi for their superb job of child raising. You have wonderful kids, and it was a joy (for the most part:) to be with them.
