Today we enjoyed a family picnic at Leyton's Foothills preschool. Since cousins Izzy, Will and John spent the night at our house (yes, we had a total of 5 kids), they also joined us at the picnic.
The kids had a lot of fun. There were 4 booths set up with games the kids could play and win prizes, they had 2 bouncers that the kids could play on and they could have a painted tattoo (or face paint) and a balloon character/object made to order. The day included a lunch provided by Hot Dog on a Stick (one of Leyton's favorites). And of course there was a cake walk or in this case a "tight rope" cake walk in line with the "circus" theme of the picnic. Let's just say with as many of us playing, we all came home with plenty of sweets.
This was the first time that we had 3 of the Wirschem cousins stay with us over night. It wasn't terrible, not as bad or difficult as you might think. Don't get me wrong, it was definitely challenging but bearable. We hope to be able to more of this in the summer to give Lee and Barb a break. The more comfortable the younger ones are with us, the easier it gets. We had our challenging moments, but that's how we learn to make it better for the next time.
