Aunt Shasta

Cody's saint of a sister, Shasta, came and cared for our kids while we went on a four day give away. She is much like Mary Poppins, pulling fun things from her bag every time the kids turned around. They had so much fun and I'm so grateful she came. We couldn't have done it without her. 

(Shopping with four kids isn't fun, even with two adults. Notice Lacey going all sorts of crazy? She fell apart while Shasta was here, needy, crying, sobbing, weirdness... Turns out she came down with a terrible cold and then a crazy allergic reaction. Now, as I suffer from the same cold, I totally understand why she was so irrational, unsoothable, and down right miserable. It's been a doozy!) 

Thanks Aunt Shas, the kids are already asking, "how much longer til you leave and Aunt Shasta comes again?!" I will never be able to repay you! ----- but......Watch for flights for February 2015!!!!! :)
