thank you candace. I decided to wait until I hear from my friend before I post again. she left with her for moral support.

she'll be back here soon to help me out with kids and lunch. but had a bad news, the mother won't be coming back for a while. violated a law. now I don't know if I can leave my friend here with five kids, gone to camping this weekend. I feel so bad for her and all of this is just surreal.

all of the kids are fine and being so good. well, to my expectation. we played duck! you're it! game this morning - they all are so cute. goodness, I've missed babysitting - been a long time.
