I am privileged and delighted to have a house full of children that I love this morning. My cousin's kids are here. There are seven of them, and they are wonderful.
Most of the kids slept on the living room floor all night so it was a sort of cousin slumber party. I used to sleep on the living room floor with my cousins, too!
The little ones slept with me. "Slept" being a rather generous term. The youngest was very angry to find that she couldn't claw her way thru my shirt to find momma's milk. (I can't remember the last time someone pawed at my PJ's in an attempt to get in. My kids were weaned so long ago! But, I digress...)
So...
the baby toddled out to the kitchen from the dark recesses down the hall. She looked newly baptized. Obviously concerned, I went to investigate the source of her dousing. Imagine my surprise at finding the toilet full with paper, and the bathroom floor soaking wet. Ewww!
Now that's all cleaned up, and I can move on to the next excitement.

You really have to keep a pretty close eye on those little-ish ones, don't you?
Ha! I'm so glad I'm not chasing toddlers anymore. I'm not sure how I ever did it.
Cousin slumber parties are happy things.
Happy Monday, friend.
I loved sleeping on the floor, I loved counting tissues on a toilet paper roll (counted ones went in the toilet of course!), I loved to dangle my feet in a toilet and flush until there was an uproar over the noise, I loved to sit on the toilet and whistle - "Whistle While You Work" (I loved Sleeping Beauty, didn't you?).
Yes sleep overs can be fun..... Part of the shame of growing older - it hurts to sleep on the floor, you have to unclog your own toilet, you know what was in the toilet so you keep your feet out and people think you are losing it if you whistle in the bathroom.
I have two cousins and a sister. We used to have some seriously awesome slumber parties. I am happy for your little slumberers.
