We survived our night hosting the soccer boys. They gorged on pizza and soda. I tried feeding them some fruit and veggies for lunch today with mixed success. There will definitely be some dietary adjustments needed this weekend.
In between gaming (on the PC and the wii), there were some water balloon fights, sword fights, glow stick tag, and movie watching. I also got the hear the complete text to several YouTube videos and some of Wierd Al’s grosser songs.
They got to bed at a somewhat reasonable time, but two of the boys (Josh and Keith) were up when I got up at 5:30 and trying to play on the PC. I sent them back to bed with the ruling of no electronics before 7am.
This morning had excitement with Jake’s nose spontaneously bleeding. This of course happened as I was trying to get Alan and Charles ready for cub scout camp and Alice ready to be dropped off by Alan. After three attempts that only stopped the bleeding for 10 or 15 minutes, I looked it up on the Internet, and that did the trick. Make the person apply pressure to the bridge of their nose for at least 5 minutes and have them lean slightly forward. Also, make sure they don’t sneeze or blow their nose for a couple hours.
I dropped them off at soccer camp this afternoon, and the next host parent (victim) will pick them up. We get Corwin back Friday.
Alice got to pay with the boys too — here Josh threatens Keith with Alice cooties
Glad you survived…actually, glad we all did! The boys seemed to do quite well, and this is an experience I would definately consider again.
LOVE IT PIC! Josh must have learned that trick somewhere.….
