Sweet Sounds of Summer

Today, I hear the sweet sounds of summer. School here in upper East Tennessee has been officially "out" for summer for about 10 days. Yes, out early - go back too early.

I babysit two little cuties on a daily basis - but during the summer, I have a few extra. Usually, when the regular sitters are busy, then I'm called to fill in. Well, today is one of those days. Today, I have six, count'em, six kiddoes here for the day.

They are:

Jacob - my darling son, who is so excited to have company today.

Jane Ann - my precious little niece, who stays with me daily.

Marisa - my cutie-pie niece, visiting this week from Knoxville for VBS

Chapel - the tow-headed sweetie, who is one of my regulars

Payton - Chapel's older brother, who is terrific with the younger ones

Alyssa - the golden haired beauty who also has a beautiful singing voice

Oh, the noise, the wonderful noise of children laughing and playing. They are getting along so well - so far.

We built a huge tent - using the entire (sectional) couch, two rockers, a table and ten blankets. They arehaving such a good time and they are using thier imaginations. Who could ask for more?? I'll let you know tomorrow how it turns out.

For now, I'm just going to enjoy to the sounds of summer.
