Cloud Nine... aka The Avey House

Our house feels like it is shrinking.  It seemed so big when we first moved in.  At 1600 sqft it is significantly bigger than any other "home" we have lived in.  I need to go back and visit our first apartment, if my memory serves me it was like 600 sqft.  McKay slept in the "dining room".  It was cozy to say the least.

Currently our 1600 sq ft is being occupied by 2 adults, 3 teenagers, and 4 children.  Nine.  Nine people all bumping into eachother and fighting over one of the bathrooms (actuallly just 2 teenage girls fight over the bathroom, the rest of us just stay out of their way.) Seth bought 10 half-gallons of milk last week (he thought he was being funny) it lasted less than a week. 

Our extra teenager (besides the "stange" students as Luc likes to call them) is Seth's little brother Tate.  He's 17 and probably the best 17 year old boy I have ever known.  The kids adore him and Luc basically idolizes him.  Seth's parents are out of town for a few weeks so we've inherited him for a bit.  His first day here he walked in and Luc said "Tate, we get to share a room, that means we can snuggle-wuggle!"  Too cute.  Although we have not made him share a bed with Luc.  The 3 kids are all sleeping in one queen bed.  It's hilarious and I need to get some pictures and video of them.  I'm surprised anyone gets any sleep at all.

Anyway, that's our life right now.  It's fun.  My social-butterfly personality lends itself well to a busy, over-crowded house.   That being said I think Seth's parents owe us one child/teenager-free evening when they get back.

On a side-note Nash is getting seriously spoiled by our sweet and amazing "stange" students.  We might be in serious trouble come summer time.  Anyone want to apply for an unpaid baby spoiling internship?
