Sunday late afternoon, we had one of our neighbor family dinner get togethers. It is usually complete chaos as the older kids are running around chasing each other - remember the ages are 5, 3 1/2, 3 and 3... And the babies who are now 6 and 7 months old, take turns fussing, eating, slobbering all over each others toys, spreading germs to each other... The dads - drinking beers to drown their sorrows from a long weekend home with all of the kids... (Not really, only Lars drank beers - Anatole arrived late with the napping Hannah, and Derek was out watching the Patriots game(well i guess he was drinking beer....). Then - the moms - sipping wine, just satisfied that they aren't hearing "mom, mom, mooooooommmmm, hey mom, MOM" continuously for a short while at the end of the weekend. Like I said, chaos - or as we like to call it, CONTROLLED chaos. So Nikki had to go and out-do herself by cooking something - and something healthy at that! She made a really yummy healthy version of chili - it was delicious.
Here are some snapshots of us. Eventually, we all have to break up the action as kids start melting down one by one...then it's home to bath and bed they go!!
