"Jenny sit down! Caleb put that cup down!" Lucy pushed back her chair and stood up. "MOMMY! MOMMY!" Rachel ran up to her mom and pulled on her shirt. "Rachel please sit down." Tears started to run down Rachel's face. "Mommy!" Lucy leaned down and picked her up. Rachel rested her head on Lucy's shoulder as Rebekah tugged on Lucy's shirt. "Mommy hold me too!" "Rebekah I can't. I'm trying to finish feeding you guys." Lucy picked the pot up off the stove and carried it to the table. "Mommy I want apple juice." Adam said. "Drink your milk Adam. Hannah please eat your peas. Jenny sit down!" "Mommy when is daddy coming home?" asked Jenny. "Jenny I don't know. Rachel will you please sit in your own chair?" "No I want to sit here." Lucy heard the front door open and Kevin's voice echo throughout the house. "Luce I'm home." "DADDY! DADDY!" everyone but Aaron and Lucy yelled. "Hi kids." "Daddy guess what?" "What Jenny?" "I made a picture in school and Mrs. King said it was the best." "Good for you Jenny. Where's Mommy?" "In the kitchen with Aaron," said Hannah. Kevin made his way with Hannah in his arms to the kitchen. "Hi Honey," he said bending down and kissing her. "Something smells good." He said. "I'll get you a plate." Lucy said as she stood up. "How was your day?" he asked. "Fine. Adam are you done?" "Yes Mommy." She set the plate in front of Kevin and picked up Adam and Joshua's plates and placed them by the sink. "How was your day?" "Good. We got a drug dealer. This is really good," he said taking another bite. Suddenly their was a crash. "Watch Aaron!" Lucy ran up the stairs and found Adam standing next to a broken vase. "Adam Peter Kinkirk! Did you do this?" Adam nodded his head yes. "Don't break Mommy's vase," she said picking him up. "You have to go in time out for 6 minutes." She carried him to his room and placed him on his bed. "Stay here!" She shut the door behind her and went back down stairs. When she walked into the kitchen Kevin yelled from the living room, "We're done." She looked at the room in front of her. Cups and plates stacked high in the sink, a spilled cup of milk trickled onto the floor, and Aaron sat in his high chair dropping his food onto the floor. "Come here Aaron." She picked him up and carried him into the living room. "Hannah, Joshua, Rebekah, Caleb, Jenny and Rachel it's time for your bath." Hannah, Joshua, Jenny, and Caleb all got up and clustered around Lucy but Rebekah and Rachel didn't move. "Rebekah and Rachel listen to your mother! Go." They got up and the kids all fumbled up the stairs. Lucy held Caleb's hand and carried Aaron up the stairs. "Kevin could you help me?" "The game's on honey." "Fine." She led the kids to the play room which was painted baby blue and had lots of toys, a small table in the middle, and a TV. She sat the kids down in front of the TV and put in The Lion King. Lucy headed to Adam & Joshua's room. She opened the door and sat down in front of Adam. "Did you learn your lesson?" Adam nodded his head yes. "What did you learn?" "Not to break Mommy's vase." "That's right. Come here." She picked him up and carried him to the play room. After setting him down she made her way to her and Kevin's master bathroom. The tub as big enough that it could hold 3 kids at a time. She turned on the water and after getting it to the right temperature she went from bedroom to bedroom getting pjs. She went back to the bathroom and turned off the water. She went to the play room and said, "Jenny, Adam, and Hannah bath time." "NO!!" "Yes!" She picked Hannah up and grabbed Adam's hand. "Jenny come on." Jenny got up and followed Lucy to the bathroom. Lucy let go of Adam's hand and set Hannah down. "Get undressed." Jenny and Adam got undressed. Lucy helped Hannah with her overalls, shirt, and socks and all three kids got into the tub. After all the kids we bathed and put to bed Lucy went back down the stairs to the kitchen. Yawning she started to pick up.
