A house+ cousins=FUN!

Today two of JM's cousins who live here in Alabama came over for lunch.  Our kids were so excited--as they are anytime anyone is coming over for lunch and play!  The 8 kids played together so well and had so much fun.  When the families left for the afternoon, the big kids wanted to go swimming.  JM and I decided to let them dive in-- assuming that it would only last a few minutes before the fighting would follow.  They ended up swimming for over an hour --fight free! Then here comes the best part ----they came in, took showers, laid down, and 3 of 4 took long naps!  We (the kids and I b/c JM is now gone to a grad party for a nurse practioner in his office) woke up at 7 pm and I quickly called it grab your own supper night!  Now they are all happily tucked back in bed and it is only 8:30.  Happy Mother's Day to me!!!!  No gifts needed.  This has been a great day!  Thanks for coming by Tommy, Kelly, Thomas, Samuel, James, Michael, Emily, and Caleb!!!!
