I don't know just what I was thinking when I invited ALL of our grandchildren over for a "cousin party and sleep over".
Grounds for insanity I guess.
But all and all, it was a lot of fun. We ended up with all ten of them, including the baby. (as it turned out, she was the best of the bunch.
Started off with pizza. Fill em up, that tends to wear them down...........theoretically that is! Then into the basement for a movie.
Movie over, that means that the hide-a-way bed is now a trampoline, right.....
Serious discussion about the hide-a-way not being a trampoline. Do not use logic when talking with a 4 year old, just state the fact and be done......
12:30 Other 4 year thinks that it's time to play with the WII. UUGGGHHHHH.
No logic, no straight forward commands, and no patience. Evacuate four year old to isolation.
Problem solved.
7:30
Time for all willing kids to hit the hot tube. I went last time, grandma's turn, right? Wrong again. Off we go. Six kids in the tube at once. Minimal complaining about how "hot" the hot tube is, just be quite and enjoy..........
Splashing held to a minimum.
Biscuit time. The kids love grandpa's biscuits. Have you ever noticed that there are NEVER left-overs at breakfast?
Then the best part.
Here come the parents to pick up the kids.......
We survived!!!!!
Ready for a nap grandma? Most enthusiastically so!
Had a ball!!!!!!!
Let's do it again!
Next year.................

You know I thought there was a little something extra in those biscuits. Must have been all those kids helping to make them that adds a little something extra, you know wipe your nose place the biscuit on the pan using the same hand.
