Well, soon they shall all leave. On one hand I am soooo happy to get our house and our schedule back... but then, on the other hand I'll miss seeing them and watching them interact with Aidan and Ainsley. I've gotten such a kick out of watching them all together-- Aidan especially. I think she needs to see other kids on a rather regular basis. It'll help pull her out of her shell. She is around mostly adults 24 hrs/ day. I love the fact that she has cousins that she might be close to when she's older.
Anyway, it's been fun. John is very much ready for them to leave. He always is when Bridgett comes to pick them up. It's not that he minds them here... it's just when it's over.... it's over. That's how he thinks.
We went to the water park yesterday. I love going there. It's a great place to bring young kids. The drive is the same as going to the beach so it's not too bad at all. I think John and I might plan an outing to bring just our girls. We didn't bring Aidan on this trip because it wouldn't have been easy to try to keep her happy and watch the older ones. She probably would have spoiled it some and would have had to go home early. To think of her, however, I wore a bracelet of hers. Silly, I know but I did look at it a bit and send positive thoughts her way.
I really love Bridgett's kids. We were talking about it some tonight about how it's close to being the love you feel for you own kids. It's NOT the same but CLOSE. I could also see it quickly becoming the same if I was to ever "inherit" them (God Forbid!) I often feel ... well?.... sad about not being more a part of their lives as I am. I suppose I could do something about it though.
