Between our three kids, an exciteable first grader, and a baby that crawls faster than I can blink, this week has been busy as hell and it's only half over. No complaints, though, because we're all having a blast with the little ones; Alex and Rachel have changed diapers and given baths, and Kevin finally has someone he can help with homework. It's been funny as hell to hear him explain basic addition to his cousin; I can hear the exact same phrases coming out of him that Alex used four years ago when he helped Kevin.

It's been a good week so far; we have to give the grandkids back tomorrow, but that's all right because I'm fairly sure that Travis will be teething soon, and part of the grandparent deal is not having to babysit when they're teething.

But no, this still does not make me want to adopt another one.
