My boys cannot remember not having a playmate. There is always someone around and they love it.
They love it even more when five bonus friends come over to play for a bit. A busy morning of sharing, playing, taking turns and enjoying having some extra personalities running around.
Of course, there was train play.
And even bowling. Which is pretty challenging with 3 toddlers knocking over or stealing the pins before they ever get set up.
This didn't last too terribly long.
Lunch. {there was even a half of a sandwich left over}
Ending with some Bugs Bunny as a reward for an amazing clean up job.
8 kids can make a big mess, but when 5 of them can actually help in the clean up they get the task done pretty quickly.
I'm not saying 8 kids is no big deal, but it is totally worth it for the fun and friends.
{and it is far easier than you are thinking in your head right now}
So who's coming to play tomorrow?
{not really, Eli woke up with a fever and feeling pretty puny. maybe next week?}

Us soon! Right?? :) Cute post! Makes me want a grill cheese dang it.
Good for you, Brave Mama! And you're still smiling about it! As soon as mine are over the crud, I'm bringing 'em over. You can handle 9 for sure, right? ;-)
And they will always remember that you had lots of kids over and that your home was OPEN. ;)
Thanks for helping out! Love the pics!
