2 Days and Counting


So we have a gigantic party coming up. Primarily to celebrate James' 7th birthday (which includes invitations to 36, yes 36, kids) but also to commemorate several HUGE birthdays for the Linge family. Among others (some of which I can't reveal here because said birthday attendees read this blog and then would know it was a surprise party for them too) we will be celebrating Daryl turning 40 this year. So, needless to say, it is a flurry of frantic activity around here.

My three sons have become entangled in all the commotion...they are under strict orders and with threats of toy banishment, to keep their rooms clean as I have cleaned them countless times in the last week. Unfortunately this just fuels their need to destroy every last neatly organized drawer, bookshelf and bed.

One of my *favorite* games to play with them is "Who Can Be Quiet The Longest". They sit on the couch and say nothing for as long as they can. Obviously, this game isn't played very often, or for very long, but it certainly has been a favorite over the last week.
