Cheaper by the Baker's Dozen?

I forgot to add this picture to the slide show, but it probably deserves it's own post anyway. I was feeding all of these kids plus their parent(s) every night for 4 nights with lots of help. My dishwasher was basically running non-stop and I can't even tell you how many times the floor got swept along with how many bags of trash got taken out--especially because my water was deemed undrinkable so everyone was downing the water bottles which make quite a bit of trash. I also realized that I failed to mention that my husband is in Colorado for 2 weeks hunting deer and elk with his business partner and his family. So I braved entertaining everyone by myself and Angie braved driving here all by herself so we made the perfect husband less pair. We also decided that having multiple wives does have its pluses. :)
I hate the day everyone leaves. It gets too quiet and I always realize that I would much rather be feeding all these kids and listening to them run around than to have them all gone. When it comes right down to it, this is what it is all about. There really isn't anything else. So make the most of it, make some killer memories and enjoy the heck out of each other!
