First day at Kate's Kids for 5 new kids!

Just by the title, you can already tell how busy of a day it will be.

Three siblings start today at Kate's Kids. I have been in contact with their mom throughout the summer, and the day has finally come for them to be here with the rest of the kids.
Morgan is 11.
Gage is 8
Addison is 3, but will be 4 on the 30th.

I met another wonderful family just last week and they have two boys that have signed up for Kate's Kids. They were going to be starting at the end of the month, but circumstances promted an earlier start date; today!
Charlie is 2
Matthew is 7

Kate's Kids has a very busy month of August and we are now welcoming 5 new kids today. I am so thankful for my helper, Bayly who will be helping us out in the next two weeks. Another helper, Shawna, will also be coming and working at Kate's Kids this month. And I must say that one of Kate's acutal Kids, Bridgette, has been a huge help and will continue to be this month. She is earning some extra cash these last two weeks of August helping me out so much. Great to have all these wonderful helpers!

So today:

6:45am:  Gage, Addison, and Morgan arrived early this morning way before their normal wake up time. My house was just starting to wake up as well.
7:30am: Kaelyn and Hannah arrive. Hannah was gone all last week because she was away at camp. Kaelyn is her sister and missed her so much. It is good to have them both back.
7:30am: Landon is here, quiet as usual.
7:45am: Charlie and Matthew are here! What a change for them. They have walked into a house already full and it's not even 8am. They all start to settle in, start checking out toys, and asking to play DS.
8:30am: Luke walks in! This is while Toby is crying, Fletch is whining, and Charlie is looking for Matt. The big kids are out playing in the back yard, exploring! Madden is happy that Luke is here. Luke is Madden's BFF.
9:00am: The final 3 are here..Bridgette, Scott, and Lindsey. They came with a flower and cards for my birthday which was last Saturday. So glad to see them. They know all the rules here and can help get the others accquainted.
9:30am: Ok, everyone has gone to the bathroom, diapers are changed, water bottles are filled, snacks are packed, stress is over. All 15 of us are off to walk to the park!!

10:00am: And here I am, sitting in a camping chair in the shade, watching the 14 kids run, climb, slide, and spin. Snack time! Gotta go!
