Grace has on her "ear pins" in this one. She puts them on whenever things get too loud. (Like when I run the blender) It doesn't look crazy in this pic, does it?
We were so excited to host the Gorsch's & Downing's (minus the daddies) in our home. It was lots of fun and a little crazy too. When you get 7 kids under the age of 4 together you are definitely guaranteed some of both.
Kristina and her kiddos arrived on Sunday evening. We made smoothies & popcorn. We made a "big bed" on the floor for the girls and let them watch a movie. We were hoping they would fall asleep, but no such luck. They still got a sleepover bedtime, as it was after ten before we finally got everyone asleep for the night.
The next day the kids enjoyed playing outside and we had a special tea party for the girls while the little ones were napping. They really enjoyed this! Stephanie & Hannah arrived in time for lunch and then we all went to the pool. It was a little crazy at the pool, but I think the kids had fun. After dinner the Gorsch's headed for home.
The Downing's were able to stay until Wednesday morning. Tuesday we spent the day at home and then went to the public pool in the late afternoon with just the girls. It was a much busier pool with water slides and sprinklers to run through. I was really glad we didn't opt to do this pool when we had our whole crew. We also walked to the local school playground on Wednesday.
I LOVE that my kids are making friendships with my girlfriend's kids. It is such fun! While I love making special memories together I am looking forward to getting together in August without the kids as it is much harder to visit with so many kids to take care for.
