BBQ, Babies, Boobs, & Beer

We all survived the weekend. Mom & Dad with Charlotee, Kelly & Dave with Brodie and Mason, Lisa & Ryan with Colin, Chris & Amy with Hunter and baby to be, Janet & Chris with Emma and Sarah, Danielle with Isabel & Wyatt but without husband Bert who was stuck in NJ. The best way to describe the weekend was organized chaos but very fun none the less. It wasn't quiet, but it was fun.

Charlotte did pretty well although she was definitely over stimulated. As was dad. Especially since dad already thinks the house is cluttered....imagine toys for all the kids, drinks for all the adults, food, dogs, shoes, more food, more toys and never ending children. The dogs were great with the kids and we think they got over being scared of loud noises.

Saturday was a beautiful day. Everyone went to the park while dad made mashed potatoes. He has to apologize for the false advertising around the "turkey dinner" that was promised for Saturday. Unfortunately the turkey didn't thaw out in time so he had to hit the store for some chicken breasts to cook on the grill. So the guys hung outside on the deck and had beer and grilled while the moms stayed inside and played with the kids.

By 9 pm on Saturday night most of the little babies were asleep. Of course the parents were just as tired. Mom was happy because she felt very comfortable nursing Charlotte anywhere she wanted to since most of the other moms were nursing too. Everywhere you turned there was moms feeding babies. Two boobs on every mom and that is a lot of boobs everywhere!

Sunday dad made eggs, bacon, & pancakes. He should have make just bacon and chicken due to the amount of leftover chicken we have left. He thought about sending people home with chicken by hiding it in their diaper bags.....he wonders if anyone has found any yet??

Thank you again for a great weekend. Danielle should get the badge of honor for driving the furthest....alone.....with two children! Burt she needs at least two weeks off of taking care of the kids....and you should have sent her with a flourless chocolate cake...Shelby is very upset!

Hopefully in July we can all get together again somewhere in Maine!

Charlotte in the exersaucer!
Babies!
Everyone
