Boy in da House!





Well today was the much anticipated arrival of Mr. N! All week long I've been asked repeatedly, "HOW many more DAYS til SATURDAY???!?!??!?" and finally the day came. They were so excited to have their friend from school over and they always love company so they were totally geared and fired up by the time he got here. Just before he arrived, Lovey came and found me, with a tube of lipstick in her hand. "Mumma, can you help me put this on????" It was a big day indeed if you need lipstick! Of course as soon as his dad brought him in, they all disappeared down the hall and started peeking shyly around the banister and giggling. They're cool like that.

Mr N took their silliness in stride and went up to check out what they were doing. I suggested they show him around so he'd know where things were. He quickly told me "Well, I already know this is the kitchen!" LOL Once the girls had something to do, they were fine and started taking him around and the chatter started flying. They went downstairs and got out the Lego. Then they put that away and got out the beads and made jewelry for awhile. Then Lovey gave him a demo of her violin playing and he was really interested in that and tried it out himself. He's already taken piano lessons but his teacher moved away and he's been wanting to try violin for awhile. I suggested they pack up the beads and get out their Hot Wheels instead and they thought that was a great idea! Off they raced to drag that stuff out and set it up.

They played so well with their guest and cleaned up every time they moved from activity to activity. I was in shock, this never happens!

Honey & Sweetie decided to have a dance party in the living room with one of my old cassettes from Mexico days but Lovey & Mr. N wanted to do puzzles so they took that to the kitchen and worked in there while the dance party was on. Honey & Sweetie were quite sure the other two were making a terrible mistake and came into the kitchen often to urge them to change their minds. It did look like a lot of fun so I went to the dance party for awhile and we busted a few moves! Murray even joined in for awhile and THAT got Lovey in there in a hurry! Mr. N followed along and worked the light show and was a good sport about it :) Lovey didn't stay long, she wanted to get back to the puzzles. Then they packed that up and got out some play dough. Unfortunately Mr. N's pick up arrived shortly after that and he didn't get to play with it much.
