The Franciscos got into town yesterday afternoon, and Cisco and Christina headed out after church and left the kids to party with us. Eight kids means nonstop entertainment! Swimming in the afternoon, ballet class with Teacher Geneva, playtime inside and outside, and homemade pork dumplings made by Susie and Clara…and the 35 year olds in the house are following the kids to bed shortly. Double the kids, double the fun!
Time for dance class!
“Janie, will you be my fwend?” The four year olds have bonded.
The ten year olds spent part of the afternoon plotting out the play we’re putting on when the Millers get here and making silly movies.
The middle girls (and their stuffed animals) are all getting along great!
Augustin powered through naptime in an attempt to keep up with all the big kids…and was out like a light by 6:30 pm!
Coloring and chatting.
I was so nervous about dinner, but Clara appears to share Susie’s passion for cooking. They spent a good half hour making dumplings while the rest of the kids got started eating, and even after Derek and I insisted on them sitting down to enjoy the fruit of their labor, they continued to give us pointers on our dumpling making technique!
Looks like they are off to a great start having fun together! Hope you had a good birthday Emily!! 🙂
