10 x 10 + 2 x 8 + 1 x 1 = The amount of kids in my house tomorrow night!
There will be 10 10 year old boys plus 2 8 year old girls plus a one year old.
I don’t know how it happened. One minute Cameron wanted to go ice skating and then I got preoccupied with the major surgery I was about to have and then had the major surgery and then had a first birthday to plan and then suddenly I found myself sitting on the couch enjoying my cup of tea when it hit me – I agreed to have TEN boys sleep over!
Yes you heard right TEN BOYS SLEEPING OVER.
I am in a calm panic – how bad can it be right?
My mother-in-law, who has raised 2 boys and their many friends, doubled the amount of food and drink I had bought so we should hopefully have enough for them to eat – she is still doubtful but what’s the worst that happens? They ask to go home because they are starving (win-win there).
We should have enough cushions and mattresses to make a bed big enough for them to all fit – it’s winter and they are still young enough to not mind sharing a bed :-p (Again what’s the worst that can happen? They want to go home because there is no space to sleep?)
They will watch DVD’s, play games and be shiny and happy and fall asleep at 22h00 and it will be great!!!!! Hey? It will.
Oh and in case that wasn’t enough for the weekend – we have the Fat Olive Market on tomorrow until 14h00 and the kids leave for Cape Town on Sunday at 13h00.
I am a firm believer in sucking the marrow out of life :-p
What are you up to this weekend?

Oh word good luck!!! LOL!!
You’ll all be fine. Boys are easy and as long as you have ENOUGH food and stuff to keep them occupied (xbox or whatever – maybe see if you can get extra controllers) they are easy peasy. NOT as high maintenance as girls.
ps…they are soooooo not going to fall asleep at 10pm. There will probably be pillow fights and stuff. Just take it in your stride.
Good luck.
Oh, and this weekend we have a Spur birthday party, something on tomorrow in the afternoon, date night and on Sunday MIL is coming for lunch. I have NO idea why I agreed to that – hope she knows that she will have to clean up afterwards..
Haha! I’m sure it will be a lot of fun 🙂
I, my friend, have a weekend of serious chilling ahead of me. TV, sushi and family 😀 The boys are taking me car for new wheels later so I’m planning a long bath. Yay!! As you can see, I don’t do the marrow sucking… Lol! X
