Eight Kids for Seven Days

Our friends, the W family, had an opportunity to go to Sweden together (as a couple) for a work trip.  I said "carpe diem!" and I will watch your kids.  So they went and we had a wild week of fun at home. It started with another day of downpours, mud, and a pop-up pond. 

 
 

 
 Everything is more fun with your besties.
 Their was time for reading jokes to each other...
 And playing "Exploding Kittens"
 And building long car tracks...

 LOTs of car tracks
And even a well timed hatching of ducklings that everyone was able to watch together. 




 They built with legos.
 Took care of farm animals
 Held goslings.

 And we even had a campfire and roasted marshmallows.
 I was just telling hubby the other night how glad I am to have the W family in our lives.  Their kids are teaching my kids some wonderful things about birds and plants. They love the same kind of "farm" projects and crafting.  They have good imaginations and work well together as a team.  And the W kids are boisterous, fearless, and energetic which helps give my more reserved kiddos a space and freedom in which to be more wild and bold too.
 Wonderful friends. We are so lucky to have them.
