We ended up with eleven kids at our house last night. No, it was not a birthday party. How does this type of thing happen? Well, when one kid gets to invite a friend over, the rest feel equally entitled to asking one of their own friends to stay the night. Voila! Eleven kids. I just feel fortunate that only the older kids have friends outside of their siblings, otherwise we'd have fourteen kids and that would be just ridiculous!
I ran to the store, stocked up on ice cream, popcorn, breakfast stuff and ear plugs. We played games, watched movies and fought off the sandman until 11pm. Even I stayed awake, which is unusual! Come sunrise, they were up and ready for breakfast. We made fruit salad and monkey bread. Now, they are outside jumping on the trampoline and waking up the neighbors. Aren't you glad you don't live near us??

Sounds like a lot of fun! (for the kids anyway. LOL
Good for you for being so brave. You're giving your kids lasting memories and trust me, its these things they will remember when they are our age!
I wish we did live by you. Your 7 plus my 5 it would be great! At your house of course:)
