All I Heard Was Please Nanny Please

My grandchildren haven't been together since our last family birthday party in July. So, we had an impromptu gathering on Saturday so the kids could get together and the adults could visit for the afternoon. As it turned out, some of the middle grandchildren coerced me into a sleep-over (well 6 to be exact). It turned out to be a fun night. They all camped on the living room floor and of course didn't fall asleep until way after I was ready to close my eyes. We made waffles for breakfast, reheated pizza for lunch and then they all went home by late afternoon. Their parents got a bit of a break and although I'm pretty tired it really was fun. It's not something I would have agreed to if it had been planned in advance but sometimes it's fun to go with the flow. Now that the little angels are all back home my house is crazy quiet once again and I'm ready for an early night. Hopefully I get up tomorrow with lots of energy and ready to start another week.

We ended up with a weekend Birthday Party, which almost drove us crazy:( Six kids running all over the house for two solid nights, tired me out completely! Thank heaven, those days are all over for me

only 6 of the 10 grandchildren stayed overnight but it was pretty crazy. Something i probably wouldn't have done normally but it turned out fine

You are a good grandmother! I don't know if my dad could have handled his grandchildren overnight, and he only has two!

I've had the grandchildren stay overnight but never this many at the same time. Thankfully it worked out and we all survived

If they had asked in advance I definitely would have said a big fat NO but since they put me on the spot and none of them wanted to go home I gave in and let them stay.

That is a nice bonding with kids. I love that. I usually do that with my nieces when I am in my Philippines home. It was fun, wasn't it? I am sure you would love to do that again.
