Last weekend our good friends had to leave town suddenly for a family funeral and needed a place for thier cute children to stay. We gladly accepted! It really was so much fun and gave me some practice for having four children in the house soon. Here are some highlights of the Columbus Day weekend...
The boys acting out missionary role plays for family home evening:
I quickly learned that it's much easier to do things in assembly line fashion with so many mouths to feed and teeth to brush. Here was our dinner one night (homemade pizza by request). I just pretended I worked in a cafeteria and spooned the grub by section onto each plate. I decided against the hairnet but did sport a lovely apron during cafeteria hours.
The boys had a reading contest and tried to read a Magic Tree House book as fast as possible. They both finished their books in about 45 minutes!
The girls were quite thrilled to decorate Halloween cupcakes:
Here's the shot just before leaving for church on Sunday morning after the shoe & sock assembly line:
Brendan mentioned that he really enjoyed the feeling of having a brother for the weekend. They are all just so adorable I couldn't help but enjoy myself in their company. Thanks Paces!

YOU are amazing. It seems like everything you do has an element of beauty and grace to it. I'm so glad I know you.
You are really an angel always helping out everyone. I can just imagine how fun it for everyone to have friends to play with for more than an evening! Amazing woman.
How fun! I think Isaac and Brendan are kindred hearts... also, I'm sure you could pull off the hairnet.
Thank you so much!!! You are so amazing and have such a wonderful attitude. It was so comforting knowing that my kids were safe and loved!
Thank you!!!
