We had 24 for Dinner last Sunday and I Cooked all except for the Sweets....I wanted to do this and thoroughly enjoyed it ...all prepared on Saturday...we played cards after while the kids played there games.
Monday Tony went up North so sad..... I will never get used to it or like it.
After dropping him off I picked up Sharli and Ady for a sleepover ....I asked them if they wanted me to take them to a Movie or they could spend the money that I would have spent on buying something for themselves ..... so we shopped the next day....that was the precedent then for the rest of the week as none of our Grandchildren wanted the Movies but rather spend the money in buying toys.....won't ask that question again as I ended up spending much more then I would have on a Movie and once it is done for one the whole lot of them had to have the same otherwise it isn't fair.
We had fun...they were often arm in arm singing and dancing...... me joining in with this crazy song they were singing........they got on really well...I enjoyed having them.
Took the girls home and picked up Jacob Kobi and Manly for the next night's sleepover and yes a shop trip...the boys were very independant and played with their toys and watched some T.V....easy night and great fun as well.
Dropped them off and picked up Lacey and Peni...this was harder two little ones having their first sleepover...this time I took them to the shop first as I wan't sure if they would last the night....they knew exactly what they wanted...we then went to Mc Donalds for dinner.....Lacey laid on my lap and fell asleep for a little while then asked to go to bed WOW !!! this is brilliant took her to bed and she fell asleep Peni then laid on my lap and after about half and hour wanted to go to bed as well....Lacey somehow had pulled over all the covers and even though I was really gentle in pulling them back to cover Peni .....Lacey woke up
she said that she wanted to go home and no amount of trying to talk her into staying would change her mind then Peni said she wanted to go home as well......so I piled them into the car and took them home...Peni all the way next door!!!!! Lacey on getting home thought that she had had a full night's sleep and wanted to now play with her toys...she wouldn't believe that she didn't have a full night's sleep she thought it was morning and time to play with her new toy......I came home and crashed I was exhausted !!! when Tone rang I told him that I was even too tired to talk to him it was 8.30 p.m. and I stayed in bed till 1.30.p.m. the next day...it was then time to get ready for the next two Maya and Naomi ..when I took Naomi to K Mart she walked down one aisle and said there is nothing here that I want...I told her sorry darling you either get something here or we go home.....of course she did buy her gift...
Both the girls were the most active and played with everything...it seemed that I have ....AND left everything out that they played with... all had to be cleaned up after but what a job...I let them build a Cubby Houses in my Lounge Room every pillow every blanket was used that I had...and the whole floor was covered with them.....I had to turn away and resist reacting to it all...not used to stuff being everywhere....they had fun and I tried to have fun but by this time I was past exhaustion and thought I could never do this again..Things are not the same when your looking at 70 yrs.......The reason for the whole week was because it will not happen again for a long while because Vanessa, Brendon and children will be living in Mt Gambier for 5 years........
Now I am alone and I hate that to...I can rest when I want but I long to have the laughter of little children or my darling's voice next to me which of course I prefer....

Tomorrow big Lunch at Nic's next door..Sione's Brother is over from Tonga and will go home Monday...Glad it's not at my place !! Going to watch another Session from Conferance now
