While Aunt H was having her baby...

We got a very exciting 3am phone call on Monday. Aunt H was having her baby! The cousins came to stay with us for the day. 

 With 9 kids all under the age of 10 it was a wild rumpus!  We made personal pizzas for lunch.

 The kids are all matching as part of a fashion show game that they were playing.

 It's important to appreciate the aftermath of so much pizza making:

Everyone was in and out a lot.  They held chicks and bunnies. They played explorers and rock collectors outside. 

 The youngest crew spent the first hour after they woke up playing with the calico critters. This is one of my kids favorite things to do indoors.

They "decorated" slime, which I do not recommend.  Hence the glitter and beads all over the living room rug. The slime got on clothes and cushions and all kinds of places where slime should not be.  I ended up not allowing anyone to play with by the end of the day.  Then the boys invented this funny game which they all, including cousin JJ, thought was hilarious.  M stood on the coffee table and S threw pillows at him until he fell over onto the couch. I guess you had to be there to appreciate the hilarity...
