15 kids under 7.

You read that correct.

That's what was in my house. Today.

What an absolute BLAST!

My girlfriends from childhood (seriously, as in Kindergarten friends .....) were all here for a reunion of sorts, and a gathering of our combined 15 kids.

I was misty eyed looking at them all. My two - the BOTH of them - are the oldest of the group. The youngest was four months.

It was awesome.
It was bedlam.
It was mayhem.
And, well, AND, it was fahreaking FUN!!!!! :O)

Only bad thing was one of the 3 year olds twins here is a bit of a wild man, while running track style in my house, ran straight into the corner {read- pointy corner} of my kitchen island and required three stitches to his head. Poor sweet fella, and m&d. Amazingly to all of us (because the twins are a very busy duo), this was their FIRST visit to the ER.

All was fine, and it was a 75 minute visit. Not bad. He got loads of presents there, and Buzz helped him "survive the visit". :)

So, I have a fabulous group shot, of course, IN my camera.

Oh, and yeah, about the digi thing - you know that you have issues when one of the four 3 year olds here walks up to you after snapping said photo, and asks "can I see?" and you say, "see what, honey?" Three year old looking perplexed at my questions says {get a load of this balogny} "The picture you just took."

:o\ As she is turning my 35MM around in my hand to see the window.

{sigh}

Three year old converts.

They start them ENTIRELY too young.

heh.

So, off to bed with me. A wee bit fatigued.

Gleefully fatigued, but still.

Oh no! Poor little dude and his three stitches!

But, oh, I am SO LOL at the 3yo asking to see the picture; I think all the kids I know do that now, which really cracks me up. I wonder what other changes are in store for us (and them) down the road, yk?

Sounds like lots of fun, Karin. Can't wait to see pictures. :-D

LOL about the camera thing and kids, Karin! We had the same thing happen in our house recently - film camera, and the kids expected to be able to see it immediately. No amount of explaining made them understand the difference.

Glad you had such a great time (wow, friends from KINDERGARDEN? Impressive). And sorry about the little guy, but it sounds like he's none the worse for wear.

Wow - you really are brave! But so glad you all had a good time!
