a buncha buncha
We have the cousins for the weekend. Last night, we gathered all of them around and played a card game, and I kicked their collective tushies. I do love that. We put the girls to bed late (hoping incorrectly that Eliza would sleep late) and then told the boys they could stay up as late as they wanted. I sent Mike in around 2 this morning to tell them maybe they should consider going to sleep. When I heard them again around 3, I decided to leave them be. They’d been warned. Today will be a struggle, I’m sure, as they have to keep up and be cheerful.
We’re taking them all to see Shrek (painting everyone’s fingernails with the groovy OPI Shrek colors) and then I’m going to sign up for a cake decorating class with a friend. I’m thinking later we’ll have another round of the card game, this time with the slushy punch I made (thanks to Mika & her mama for the incredible recipe that I told Eliza I’ve been making since before she was born… before Griff… before I met MIke).
Tomorrow, while Mike takes the cousins home, I’m going to watch a friend’s bellydance recital. A big, fun weekend. I do love having a house full of people. I’d have the kids come visit more if I could work it with everyone’s schedules.
