Quack, quack, said the mama duck

3 meals later and I'm tired. This morning I made breakfast from a recipe I found on Pinterest. Bacon inside a pancake with homemade whip cream. It was pretty yummy. All the kids seemed to enjoy it. Later on I made lunch and then dinner. I like to cook but I enjoy it more when my step son is here. He's not picky and eats more then the other kids and enjoys food. Things will be more busy this week. The step kids are here till the 28th. I'll have a little more laundry to do and a few more meals to make. My 2 are happy to have our extra 2 here and the extra 2 are happy to be here. Our 3 year old hugged her oldest brother (my stepson) and as she lay next to him hugging him she said "oh I'm so happy right now!" It was so cute. I'm use to a quite house 80%  of the time but it's nice to have it a little fuller and a bit warmer.

It was a mix of the Brady bunch minus 3 kids then plus 1.

It's a full house in the summer. I had just my son Bryan 4 years ago. Then once I married my husband I became the step mom of 2 more children. A boy named Zen and a girl named Wednesday. Then a few months later we had our spawn together Mia Monroe.

I have Bryan (gordo) full time sometimes he goes to see his father but it's very very rare. He has a lame excuse for a father. The man has not paid child support since we split over 7 yrs ago. He probably never will. So I keep my son full time because his father is not responsible. Zen and Wednesday live in Texas. Their mom decided to move out there a little before I met my husband so we only have them in the summer, before or after Xmas and every other Thanksgiving. Its not enough time but it's the best that we can get when it comes to our wallet. Since Mia is our only child together she is the only one who never has to go any where.


Right now the house is full. Video games are being played. There is loud laughing going on and kids running up and down the stairs consuming go gurts and juice bags like crazy ( caprisuns). Mini vacation trips to six flags California are being planned. Sam's club is loving our extra weekly shopping. My husband is more at peace having all kids under one roof, instead of worrying about the other 2 being so far and missing out on more then half of their lives. He doesn't have to worry about the phone not being answered when he calls them or the phone he calls them on being broken. He has 42 days of seeing and talking to them every single day. There is a little more life in the house while the step kiddos are here. It's summer time at the Rosas house. Time to soak it all in with quality time with each other. Have fun and let the kids relax.
