If you like it then you better put a ring on it... or a comment.

Ok, so we are contemplating video journaling every waking moment (or just a few waking moments) of our time without mom as she is leaving for Africa next Saturday!!! I am forcing her to video EVER-EE-THANG because I especially wish I could see Solomon's face when he sees her but I also want to see my favorite place in the world which I miss dearly. And I'm also insanely excited about a lot of things she will be doing.

So I am thinking maybe, maybe... we should do the same. It might not be pretty. Most likely there will be a lot of hilariousness with a hint of crazy and insanity on the side. Maybe too much for you to handle. But if you want to see the madness that will go on, then you better comment. I need at least 5 comments, maybe 12. I don't care if you don't know me. Comment. You can even comment more than once. I don't care. We will be interviewing The Littles (who are quite hilarious as it is) and also letting you glimpse a week of life in a rather child-infested home without mom here. AND we will give updates on Mom as we hear from her. Don't hold back, don't be nervous. Comment.

you're so funny! Your household runs like a well-oiled machine and you know it! :-) Your mama has nothing to be worried about

Well. I guess I am the first to comment! I think this is a great idea! I would love to see a video of all the crazy things you and the littles will be doing without your mom around. :) These are truly funny kids and it would be very fun to see them all on video. It would be cool to see the little girls too, although I don't know what they are able to say at there age? Oh and it would be great to see Solomon in a video, I have heard so much about him. He must be very excited to get to see your mom again! Cute picture, by the way!

I'm fairly certain that all the craziness is "controlled craziness". I know your mom too well to believe otherwise! :)

I was serious about bringing my 4 over to play one day while she's gone. I'll even help with laundry or something.

Hope the painting turned out nice.

Do it girl! It's hilarious enough when your mom IS home! Should be extra special while she's away!

Cyndee said...

That would be great to see as I love what the littles say and do... so it would be pure enjoyment for me to watch. Of course we could be up there in like 10 hours if I see you tied up or babbling incoherently. Give your Mom a hug from us and wish her safe travels.

I'm have been reading your blog for quite some time but I haven't commented. My sister-in-law just adopted from Ethiopia. Her baby girl is so beautiful. I would love to hear about your adventures with your darling brothers and sisters while your Mom is away. Love the story about meeting Solomon. I would love to see pictures and videos of the kids. Also whatever your Mom sends home.
