We had a bigger bunch than the Brady bunch this week-- it truthfully didn't feel that big most of the time. Darryl's sister Ann came and stayed with us for a whole week. It was their spring break and so they came up so Eric(her husband) could help his mom with her basement. They were cleaning it out and wanting to frame it. Eric cleaned all week and so Ann and I took 10 kids-- yes 10 and we went to the Olympic Park, the Disney program at JR Smith, and Trafalga. Darryl and I also took her 4 oldest with our family tubing. It was a super fun and busy week. It was so quiet after they left and the boys didn't know what to do with themselves. They were so use to finding someone in every room of the house playing something different. With everyone gone their entertainment options significantly dropped. I know I've said it before but it always amazes me how there is a natural connection between cousins. We don't get to see Ann's kids much but they all act like they're brothers and sisters. We can't wait until they come again. Also while they were here Courtney celebrated her 10th birthday. Kade and Clint love any excuse to hang the Birthday decorations so they were tickled to put up streamers and balloons-- cake and ice cream were an added bonus! It was also St. Patrick's Day. We'd forgotten all about it and Kade was so concerned as he headed out the door to school because we hadn't made a leprechaun trap this year. So while he was at school Brittany and I came up with a cracker box. We didn't get a good picture of it set up with the gold painted rocks but it was pretty cute. Again, we didn't find the leprechaun in the trap but he did have to empty a few gold coins(gold dollars) from his pockets so he could jump out of the trap. I wonder what we'll find next year--really, I wonder what we will find (any ideas?). Just in case you were wondering: At times we had 4 adults and 10 kids-- 14 people living in our house! Holy Smacks! There was a 4 mon, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, & 14-year old. :)
