Bonus Kids

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.
Trains

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.
Play Day
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?}

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. ;)
