Well, I didn't make it very far into June before missing a couple days of posts. But I had two of my married daughters and their families over this weekend. It was a busy time. We had a lot of fun and there was some good cousin bonding as well as some good grandparent/grandchild bonding.
But I have figured out that these really busy weekends take too much out of me. The noise in the house is tiresome, and they just weren't that loud. I think the fact that I just came off of 3 very hectic and stressful weeks at work is a big part of the problem. When you start out tired, it's hard to keep up with 5 little kids especially when one is not quite 4 months old.
I didn't get everything accomplished that I wanted too but Rorie (8) did do a little hand sewing. Dorian (3) did get to sit with grandma while she worked in the studio. Emerson (6) got to be one of the guys. Athena (1) got to play with babies. (animals and her cousin). Wren (almost 4 months) was so very even tempered and pleasant even when all of her cousins were crowding her.
The boys went out and harvested berries this morning so Grandma made blueberry pancakes for breakfast. We had a fish fry for dinner form the fish they caught yesterday. Rorie and Emerson husked corn for the fish fry. Everyone had a good time.
Busy weekend but so worth it. Now to just recover by going back to work.
