14 kids? yeah, no problem!! (as long as I get to send them all home after a couple of hours!!)
My house has been filled with children all day today -- each of the kids had a friend (or 2) over to play. We had lunch, made popcorn in the movie theatre popcorn maker, we made cupcakes and decorated them for snack (we then scrubbed the pink from the sprinkles off our faces and hands, and we vacuumed (twice). I tell you, I think the more kids that are around, the easier it is. They all just tend to go find their own things to do instead of me or my husband having to entertain. Ok, so I had to do some work in regard to the cooking activity but I actually enjoyed that. I don't mind rinsing out some dishes to throw into the dishwasher (you don't actually think I am going to wash them do you?) and wiping down the table. No big deal. I think my husband may have actually put the boys to work as well. I think they were outside chopping ice so the post man doesn't have to risk life and limb to deliver my mail. Nice....will work for cupcakes, good to know!
All in all, it has been a fabulous day.
