This is going to be so much fun!

Ok, it is now a sticky. I will move them over from the positive thread with a redirect.

Pretty good day for the most part. Everyone got along well today and made up some very imaginative games. The weather is beautiful and we can enjoy being outside, which is important with 4 boys ages 4-6.
Right now, everybody has a window marker and having fun 'tagging' my sliders and french doors!

Yesterday's positive: I got two of the three cluttered surfaces in my living room cleared off and some decorations put up!

Today's positive: I am having to dig deep for this one because I've been feeling very stressed all day...um...it's Friday? ::

Good job Silver-you found something in the gloom of it all-.

Enjoy your weekend and Monday will be a much better day I'm sure!

I watch a sweet little girl who pays for full time spot even though she is rarely here. Honestly she just melts my heart and I wish she was here everyday. When she gets here everyone gives her hugs and she gets along so well with everyone. Well after about two weeks of not being here she was here today. And she spent the whole day telling me how much she loved me and missed me. I just love her and she made my day.

I have one exactly like that!!!! My middle schooler actually will ask every day if ******* came because we love her that much. I think we are going to take her for the day one weekend and just have fun with her!

Just had one kid today, my favorite one. (Oh come on, don't tell me you don't have one of those too!) I taught her to do the steering wheel mtion and make car motor noises, including the lean to the left and a squeal as you turn the corner. We have this weird little electric car thing, so it was an entirely appropriate thing to teach her. We went to Walmart today, and when we went around the corner, she leaned and squealed. Most of the rest of the trip, she "drove the car". She's just 15 months old, so it's pretty funny. We left a lot of people smiling around the store.

I know I already posted for today, but I have another one:
I got to report to DCM of my more difficult boys that I "caught" her youngest being kind on several occasions today. He beamed the biggest smile I have ever seen on that little face. His older brother then reported that they all used their manners at dinner. Made my day to be able to send them home feeling proud of themselves. happyface

I took all the kids to Chuck E Cheese after school today. All 5 (15 yo too) were well behaved, no running and screaming like banshee's.

As we walked out, my 9 yo actually said "Thank you for taking me here. I had a good time." That is a first for him.

Dad stopped by to pay, aplogizing for being late all the time. I told him he could pay me on Monday mornings from now on because I know how hard it is for him to get here after he gets home at 8:30. He was so appreciative.

They both really made my day.

I had a smaller group today - just 6 kids - and they all played a memory game for nearly an hour. The oldest were very patient and helpful to the littlest ones, who, in turn, listened and tried to do their best to follow what the older ones told them. happyface

Rearranging

Simple rearranging of some furniture has made the rooms flow much nicer.

The former workshop is transitioning nicely into a cozy/reading/toddler room.

I've been trying to figure out where to put the DCK stockings. I stopped at my neighbor's yard sale this morning and found this plaque that says "Dear Santa, I've been good" or something similiar. It has 4 wooden hooks on it--I have 3 DCK. I was going to put one up for the daycare cats or something, but now, it looks like I might have one of the kid's half brother part time. He's just 4, and I wouldn't want him to feel left out, even if I've never met him. Either way, I'm prepared, and it's really cute! $2.00
