SPRING BREAK WITH 8- EIGHT- 8!!!
This week John and I have spent the week taking care of 8 kids!!
I want to share with you from that experience.....
My tip of the week.
Three big adventures were on the agenda for this week. The lake, Stone Mtn, and Skate Country. I cannot begin to tell you how much easier my week was by doing one simple task.
Color coordinating their clothes.
When my children were little I used to do this all the time but have gotten a bit out of habit. Mainly because they are a little older, listen, and I don't worry quite as much. On Tuesday however, when heading to the lake (yes the lake) with 8 kids... I instantly went back to what I used to do. The old regime so to speak!!
REASONS I LOVE IT!!
- They stand out
- It is easy to spot them
- You look like a group vs. just another family in a crowd.
- Your pictures are coordinated (which I personally love)
- It make it so darn easy to count them
- My tip for you this week.. When venturing out as a family this summer to crowded locations try to coordinate your clothes. Pick bright colors and stick with solids if possible. You will be amazed at the difference and your pictures will look nicer too!!
I am happy to say that only at two points during the 4 day adventure did I ever feel like I had lost someone. That may sound like alot to you but trust me with 8 kids it is nothing!! They dissapear like flies at this age. I was relieved that it was only 2 times and I am quite convinced one of the reasons is the clothes being coordinated!!
