Life with 4 kids ~

So after spending a month with the two nieces here from Kentucky and life with anywhere from 2 - 4 kids pretty much all the time was crazy.... then they all left... and there was peace... until Sunday afternoon when Trenton's daddy calls and says that his two nieces Meghan and Brianna want to come to my house with Trenton.... GREAT.... bring them on.. no biggie..... it was just the 3 of them and Trenton was being well.. obnoxious but it was still enjoyable. Then comes the confusing part of where are these girls going from here. Dad is back in Iraq, they don't want to go to step-mom's and they aren't supposed to be going home to mom yet... soooo... as luck would have it, they are coming back here tomorrow to stay again with Trenton.... so I will have them until probably next Wednesday night.... hahaha... back to 4 kids again!!! But its all good!!! They are really good girls and lots of fun.
It really made me think though... a few years back, there was a fear of Ian (their dad) getting shipped off to Iraq and he had custody of the girls at that time. The step-mom was not in the picture and when the papers first got started, he asked Trenton's daddy if we (even though divorced) would be willing to take guardianship of the girls.... which would mean they would go back and forth just like Trenton does and just as if they were ours..... Of course I said I would do it as I would do anything for those girls, but luckily it never came to that... Its just sort of ironic that here we are a few years later.. their dad is in Iraq and they are here for a few weeks and going back and forth with Trenton....
