A week of cousins and sisters

Tuesday:

Mandy, Sara and their 6 kids got to my house for the end of Garen's birthday party.  The 3 nine year olds, 3 6 year olds, and 3 three year olds had a blast playing together even though there was 14 of us crammed into my house making sleeping arrangements a little bit interesting.

Wednesday:

I took 7 of the kids to the Summer movie, Mr. Poppers Penguins

Thursday:

We took all the kids to the splash park for the afternoon.  Grandma Sue and Grandpa Paul came.

Friday:

Grandma and Grandpa took the kids on a hike and the kids went around my neighborhood picking up trash (all their idea).  The girls made up dances, the boys dressed up as iron man, spiderman, ninjas, ect., the 3 year olds jumped off the couch into piles of pillows and fought over whos turn it was to jump.

Saturday:

We took the kids to a swimming pool/park/zipline.  Andy's parents, grandma, and sisters family got into town and came to see Everett.

Sunday:

Tried to get everyone to 9am church to bless Everett,  Had 23 people over for lunch and celebrate mine and my dad's birthdays.  By Sunday night we were down to just Mandy's family and my mom.  The kids watched a movie and all slept in the family room.

Monday:

Maddie and Kaisa made up a hip hop dance to show everyone, Sophie and Chloe played Santa Clause and took turn giving each other presents, Garen and Joren wrestled.  My kids were so sad to see their cousins go and there were lots of hugs goodbye.  Now time to recover from a week with little sleep.
