Friday night we got the house all cleaned up and ready for Marni (my sister) to come with all of her 7 girls. They showed up a little after midnight. We spent Saturday morning with them and made a big breakfast of waffles with custard sauce, sausage, and scrambled eggs. The kids played their hearts out. After they left at 11am we got things cleaned up and drove out to Rockville (about 30 minutes away) and went on a little hike. We also built a little fire and roasted hot dogs. I was kicking myself for not taking my camera. We all came home tired and reeking of smoke. After we got the kids ready for bed, we left Jileigh in charge and we went to the grocery store to get stuff for their Easter baskets. We got them: apples, bananas, 100% juice boxes, string cheese, cheese cracker sandwiches, fruit snacks and pudding cups. They were quite content with the contents Sunday morning. We didn't even have to feed them breakfast.
After church and lunch, Matt and I crashed for a long nap and the kids built a fort outside in the backyard with sheets and blankets. They really do have a ball together
I need to write down what Safia did on Friday afternoon while I was cleaning the kitchen. I keep a cheap lipstick in my bathroom drawer. Well Safia got into it. She had it all over the lower half of her face and she put it all over her hands like lotion. Then she put hand prints down the hall on her way to come show herself to me. I stuck her in the tub and bathed her and again was kicking myself for not taking a picture of her. (We call her "turkey" because she is constantly pulling stuff like this.)

marni really has 7 girls?!!!! that's awesome. where is she living, now?
what a good mom you are to put such healthy stuff in your easter baskets. i used to be more like that. i'm too much into chocolate myself to deny them a little candy. bet yours don't mind at all, though.
So fun to hear about your life. We should have done this blogging thing way before now. Thanks for sharing.
