Family of Six

The W. family has been a family of six this weekend. Aunt Cathy had to take a trip, so Sho and Kei have bunked down with us for past couple of nights.

Let me tell you, having four boys in the house is a lot different than having two. The swagger wagon (minivan) has been used to it's full potential this weekend, which is a little weird in and of itself.  For the most part everything has gone very smoothly. Duane has done most of the caregiving as I have had to work this weekend, but he's so incredible at being a dad and uncle that it barely seems to phase him. 

There have been some definite highlights though
  • Sho and Kei loved the homemade mac and cheese we had for dinner one night, even though my kids wouldn't touch it.

  • Sho is so sweet and wonderful with Ryan.  We took the guys to a buffet for dinner on Friday and Sho helped Ryan with his plate, got him dessert and even helped him with his coat. Ryan thinks Sho hung the moon, so he was quite happy.

  • The guys completely rocked out to "Party Rock Anthem" in the van one night. We had it cranked up and everyone was singing along at the top of their lungs and dancing in their seats. It was one of those moments I wish I could do over and over again. There was just happiness in the air.

  • Movie night campouts on the living room floor have been a big hit. Tons of pillows and blankets, a big screen tv, and the lights out made for a fun (although not exactly sleep inducing) bedtime.
