Full House

We've had a full house for the past few days...12 people to be exact. It's been fun. Wild, but fun.

Daniel's sister and family have been staying with us due to post hurricane lack of power, and a hole in their roof. School is starting back up for them tomorrow, so they returned to their town today. I am catching up with sheets & towels, and taking care of "the babies". It is so quiet here today.

How did we fit 12 people in our house? Easy. M&P got B's room (since she has a queen sized bed), and their daughter slept on the floor on an Aerobed (those things get a lot of use around here). Their boys slept in X's room, and on the playroom couch. My girlies slept in J&L's room with B on the floor (again with an an Aerobed), X slept in my closet in his pack and play crib with a nice fan on for white noise...and finally Daniel and I slept where we always sleep, of course. I think it worked out quite well. The only problem...X became addicted to sleeping in my pitch black closet i.e. "man cave". I've been trying to put him down for his nap for 90 minutes unsucessfully despite his exhaustion. I finally gave up and put him back in the dark closet with the fan on, and he fell asleep in 2 minutes. Sigh.

Speaking of full houses...have you seen every episode of Full House like I have? I really, really loved that show during my middle school years. I wanted to marry John Stamos. He pretty much looks exactly the same as he did back then...when I was in middle school. How do you think he manages that? Now, I'm rambling. If you didn't watch Full House, you missed out. Daniel and I were talking about it this morning while I was making up dramatic scenerarios regarding my enlarged thyroid and leaving him a widower to raise all 4 of our crazy kids. When I think of John Stamos and Full House, I always think of the song/video Forever (below)...still makes me cry a little. Shhh...don't tell anyone...it's embarrasing.
