#mamablack

  While Mama Black (and most of the kids) got to sleep in, Whitney was preparing a meal, Warner was doing his homeschool work, and Alora finished her art piece from the other day.

  Warner cleaned up after himself, and then he had a lovely chat with Mama Black. It was so easy for him to talk to her. It made him happy, even though he was still a little shy at first. ♥

 ♥ A Mama Black appreciation post. ♥ Thank you for coming at a time that the family REALLY needed the help. We all love you, appreciate you, and you bring a smile to all of our faces each and everyday (even Henley).

  While the kids (Cameron, Jasmine, & Warner) were sleeping, the teens (Adam & Alora) were doing their homework, and the adults were putting ALL the littles to bed, the cats were up to something.   Could there be more kittens on the way? Only time would tell.

  Henley was just sitting there, judging everybody with a poopy diaper. When her dada picked her up, she was happy. But then, came the next tantrum.   Songaa had things handled with a tickle and a change of that dirty diaper. But then, Sawyer started crying too.   I’m convinced that Henley made eye contact with Sawyer, to rub it in his face that she had their dada’s attention instead of him. (No worries. Whitney came in a few seconds later and got Sawyer.)

  After the big kids got back to the house from hanging out with Mama Black at the Magic Kingdom, they were greeted by the kitties.   Jasmine and Cameron went straight to doing their homework. But instead of doing it together like I thought they would, they did it in separate rooms. Cameron did his homework in the family rec room (using the setup I made just for homework), but Jasmine did hers in Cameron & Warner’s room.

  When the party was officially over, the toddler tantrums begun.   First, it was just Henley. Then, Sahara and Sawyer joined in. Then, Levi. But sweet little Jacob stayed cool. All of them needed to be put down for bed.   Songaa and Alora brought the 5 little ones inside the house. (Adam was still at prom, but on his way home. Mama Black was still doing laundry. And, Whitney had to use the bathroom.)   Jasmine and Cameron were off to their rooms to go to bed, but Warner wasn’t done filling up on sweets. He had himself an extra organic sugar cookie.   Between the 5 tots, Songaa put Sawyer and the boys to bed; and Mama Black was gonna put Sahara and Henley to bed, since she was done with the laundry. Alora was too tired to do anything else, and Whitney had a new mess to clean up after Dagger stunk up the litter box.   Henley didn’t wanna wait her turn for Mama Black to put her to bed, so she fell asleep right there on the floor.
