9 pizzas, 5 orders of bread sticks, 6 dozen donuts, 3 gallons of lemonade, 2 bags of Swedish Fish, 4 dozen sugar cookies and cupcakes (2 each) with 3 containers of frosting later, we survived the sleepovers. Oh and let's not forget the 36 smores made at Girl Scout Cooking Day. Somehow I lost 2 pounds over the weekend. Hey I didn't say I ate any of this stuff...
While we're still on the subject of sleepovers, how many times have you had everyone RVSP and actually attend something? I only accept about a quarter of the invites to kid's parties (most of the time because the kid invites the entire grade and my child doesn't know him/her that well anyways. Oh and I'm cheap and don't want to spend $100+ a month on gifts to kids we don't know) so I figured maybe half to three-quarters would show up this weekend. Every single kid came. That would be 11 boys (don't ask me how this got out of control, I obviously can't count) and 8 girls. Those numbers do not include any of my 5. To say it was slightly insane at sometimes would be an understatement.
But everyone is happy and it's over and I can look forward to a relatively stress-free month. All I have left is 3 Girls Scout meetings, 4 Cub Scout things, 2 hockey skate sessions, and a handful of soccer practices and games. I'm back to ignoring the whole packing/cleaning of the house in June by the way.
Oh did I mention that all my kids are home from school today with the stomach flu? Kelly's actually fine at the moment but Kyle threw up yesterday, Emily last night, and Zach and Ally look a little green this morning. I wonder if I should mention this to the 17 sets of parents (we had two pairs of twins) who were here over the weekend. Nah, they'll find out soon enough...
