Gina and I started doing a kid swap once a week several weeks back. It's a nice way for Mom to get a little break two mornings a month. One Tuesday I take Jackson, then the next Tuesday Gine takes Ethan and Hailey. Ethan had speech this past Tuesday so we swapped today instead. The kids think Jackson is a rock star. They adore him! They have been looking forward to Jackson coming to play for days.This morning Ethan said "Mom, let's get cheeseburgers and eat lunch with Jackson." I toted the four kids with me to the post office and I got some looks from people. I'm sure they thought I was crazy for having four kids so close in age. But the kids were so well behaved and they walked in and out of the post office holding hands. I wish I'd gotten a picture of that. After the Post Office we got burgers from Wendy's and went to a really great park. The kids and I love exploring new parks and there are so many fun ones around our area. It was an incredible morning! Slightly chilly in the shade, so I made sure to spread our blanket in the sun. The kids had a blast playing. When we dropped Jackson off at his house Hailey threw a royal tantrum. She loves the kid! We can't wait to play again next week, Jackson!

Wow you are on top of it! The feeling is mutual! How cute that they were all holding hands!
What a great idea, yay for mommy time, hehe!! They all look like they have so much fun together. I can't wait to take Bri to the park to play with friends, she is so shy though it might never happen :(
That is so sweet- isn't Jackson so sweet! What a fun neighbor/friend you are! You are and Gina are amazing. I love that park!
That is a good park. It must be the addition of a Jackson to the clan that makes them all behave better. I've had the same experience with Heather's Jackson.
oh i hope you really enjoy this time because when you have 4 kids...no one wants to swap with you.
Hey I miss you guys, it looks like your having so much fun!
