The Sheridan Family: Life in Lemoore

So this is day four of my adventure here in Lemoore on the Navy base with my 2 nephews and my niece along with 2 of my own. The biggest struggle is finding things to pass the time with 5 kids. Yesterday we ventured out and did the local mall which was quite the adventure with 3 car seats in my car and then using 2 strollers in the mall. Today we hung out most of the day. Mom took Taylor and Ryan and went grocery shopping while the little ones slept and then later in the day we got out the slip-n-slide for some fun. Oh, and last night I went on a long walk through the neighborhood and ended up on some dead end road that looked like something out of a movie. There was a park and everything was overgrown as if it were a cemetary so that's what I imagined it was. It was very creepy and I only made it worse by imagining that something really bad had happened there and that "someone" was watching me or following me....I seriously watch too much Discovery Channel. Anyway, I made it back in one piece and made it through another day. The kids are actually getting along pretty good and Mom and I are working pretty well together to make things run as smoothly as possible. I miss Doug and the twins though and sleeping in my own bed. There's just nothing like your own bed....luckily I DID bring my "lovie" which has been just about everywhere with me including by my side in the delivery room for Jack. I'm weird huh? But seriously, it's a pillow I bought about 6 years ago to match the bedding I have from Pottery Barn. It is so torn and tattered and been repaired so many times that I think I am going to finally give in to my moms suggestion of doing a large patch on one side instead of replacing the whole case since that's what makes it my "lovie". Ok, this blog just took a serious left turn and my secrets out......don't give me a hard time Jenn, Adam or Mark....you know what I mean....anyway, here's some photos from the last few days.
