all day long i am at home with children, always outnumbered. yesterday, m & k had some friends over to play and for dinner. even though 5 adults (and one mothers helper) were in attendance, we were really outnumbered with 11 children. two siblings did not make it because of prior engagements - so it would have been 13 kids. i was a little stressed yesterday wondering what i was getting myself into. but i think it worked out great - controlled chaos sort of describes it to a T. the kids played their little hearts out in the heat and humidity, then we came inside for a little indoor picnic - which was surprisingly tame. see for yourself...
j. came home from work and i think he expected to see kids swinging from ceiling fans and spilling out into the street. this was not the case - everyone was happily eating what was on their neighbors plate! however, j. is now convinced that our house is big enough to contain our own children. i have informed him that he is sadly mistaken and we will be putting our house back on the market come fall. i hope to be ringing the new year in under a new roof!

Remind him that those cute little kiddos get bigger. With bigger toys. And bigger friends.
He may need some help with the math.
