Camp Aunt Lindsey
The first ever Camp Aunt Lindsey was held last night and boy was it exciting! I had the awesome opportunity to watch both of my nieces and my nephew all at once! I recruited my sweet sweet friend Jana to come over and help with the event. Emma and Morgan were troopers through dinner and enjoyed their hotdog supper while Logan played with his new friend Jana. He really liked her long hair! After dinner Logan decided to take a break from camp activities for some shut eye while Morgan and Emma decorated pumpkins. The girls did such a great job coloring all over the pumpkins Grandmother had bought for them – make sure to look at the pictures to see their skills. After decorating pumpkins it was bath time! The girls were super excited and ready for some relaxing tub time.
Jana and I were feeling pretty proud of Camp Aunt Lindsey and our skills up until this point…we had been doing a great job taking care of 3 children all under the age of 3 and were still sane. I was actually thinking that I might be able to do this motherhood thing! But then it came bedtime!!! The tears came and Camp Aunt Lindsey started to fall apart! One baby would cry we’d get him/her stopped and the other would start it was like a chain reaction! Jana and I were running for child to child trying to use our best soothing voices to calm and comfort the little guys and gals. Unfortunately it was a rather rough 30 minutes of bed time action at C.A.L that the girls and Logan had to endure. And to make a long story short it ended with Grandmother, Papa, Lesley and Travis all coming to the rescue!!!
Overall, Jana and I did a great job with all 3 kids for the 6 hours we had them (ok so it was only 3 but it felt like 6…) but we were very excited to see the reinforcements come and rescue the counselors in training at Camp Aunt Lindsey! At our camp debriefing meeting Jana and I decided that we aren’t scared of having kids but we might not have 3 in 3 years!

I was just thinking about you this morning Lindsey. Thanks for the update.
Wow! What a brave person you are! I’m sure T,L, & L,A enjoyed the time off. And if you went 3 hours w/o a breakdown I’d say Camp Aunt Lindsey was a success! Love you!
