Seriously! I don't know of a sane person who would purposely embark on what we are about to do this weekend...
You see, its the 2nd to last weekend of the term. Next weekend involves a dorm Christmas party and dorm clean up which means that this is the last weekend for sleepovers of the term. Well, having informed the boys earlier this week of that fact and said that they could invite anyone they wanted to or go somewhere else. I talked with them this morning to see who is going and/or coming. Turns out that no one is going... 12 more are coming! Possibly. We are waiting to hear back from some.
SO... tomorrow night, I will have 26 kids (at the most) at our sleep over. Both Munchkin and Monkey have friends coming, plus 10 more boys (4th-6th graders) for our boys. That's a 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, a few 10, a bunch of 11, and a couple 12 year olds. Yep, I must be crazy!
Prayer that I maintain any remaining sanity I have would be nice. Any large group games would be helpful too. Thankfully they won't all be here until after 8 and lights out is at 10ish.
I crazy as it seems to me and as insane as I think I might be at this moment, I think we're going to have a lot of fun too. The boys are over the top with excitement which makes all the planning worth it already!

Oh my! I wish I had some games to share, but for that age group ... I'm blank. I'm sure you'll have fun! And ... I'm *pretty* sure you will still be sane when it's all over. :)
Good luck and God be with you :)
On a random note, I was talking to a friend of mine at mops today, turns out she lives at 908 Dustin RD...
sound familiar. Well she has a yellow bathroom...
What a small world. Anyway, made me think about you guys and how far you have come.
Hello Mrs. Brooks,
You made your site simple yet elegant. The pictures are a nice touch. I see that you have a wide variety of interests and observations here!
I’m sending an important message to people from Jehovah God that is in the Bible: “Your luck will end! I will see to it that you are slaughtered with swords. You refused to answer when I called out; you paid no attention to my instructions. Instead, you did what I hated, knowing it was wrong.” (Isaiah 65:12) (CEV)
