thanks for all the advice. I'm falling in love with these kids. Stopping to see them almost every day. With my own and my neices, I had seven kids much of the day yesterday at our house. Getting to know each of them, trying to develop something unique with each. The youngest is 2, the oldest is 6. Despite coming from a very broken and violent situation, they've returned to being calm and happy and 'normal' kids almost instantly.
I think the hardest part is getting 7 juice boxes, 7 snacks, etc, every time!
