Today is our friend Clover's last day- we are hoping to have her come back next summer! :-)
Brady was here too - for his last day before heading to Kindergarten!
It is a lot of fun having a full house- and how do you serve blueberry pancakes and eggs to eight children?
You enlist the help of the older kids! :-) Tuesday, I plated the food and Alanah, Joey, Brady and Phaedra served the 4 younger ones and then came back to me for their own plates. Today, Alanah, Joey, and Brady served the youngest ones and Addison, Clover and they took their own plates.
For lunch, we lucked out and played outside til Dave said it was ready- my favorite days! lol
