 Today we played with Aunt Me-Me. I was a little afraid, that it would be crazy, like it gets when there are nine kids and only two adults to supervise, but today it was actually a really great time. I think we need to go to Me Me's more often. I took the leftover pizza from Mark's birthday with us and we all had pizza for lunch. Then Me-Me and I worked together on fetching Zelda's magic whistle, something Noah and I have been trying to do for days now. Melanie made it look so simple and even though I was a little jealous of her Nintendo skill, I was also very relieved to have the whistle retrieved. Noah immediately defeated Level Five's Digdogger monster and we shut the Nintendo off, with Noah beaming ear to ear. Hurray for Aunt Me-Me. Then we shooed all of the boys into their swimsuits and out the door where they spent almost two hours in the sun, playing with the hose and practically filling an entire storm drain with water. I was worried about wasting so much water but if you figure six boys were playing with the one stream of water, I think I shouldn't be so worried. Then we dried everyone off and dressed them and changed about a thousand wet diapers (or so it seemed) and we chatted for awhile while we cooled off. I asked Melanie if she'd make some of her Columbian rice to go with my pulled pork for dinner and she did. Lucky us! Then I loaded up the kids, a few of them kicking and screaming about how they didn't get to play long enough, and we headed for home. When we got home the boys immediately plopped down on the couch to watch some TV and within minutes Noah, yes Noah, fell asleep. Exhausted. And I think that pretty much sums up the day. . . we completely wore them out. And with six little boys running the place, that is a very, very wonderful thing. Thanks for a lot of fun Me-Me. Let's do it again soon!
