    Talking Let the crazy begin :)

    My brother arrived last night with his wife & two kids. They will be living with us for a few months until they save up for/find a place of their own.

    Also as a surprise we now have custody of my nephew (long story). We now have living in our house: 9yo, 10yo, 11yo, 12yo, 13yo, 16yo, 18yo, 4 adults, 5 dogs, and 4 cats.

    It's gonna be a GREAT Christmas

    ....and a partridge in a pear tree.....is how I used to finish how many people and animals live under the roof. Made me smile anyhow. And fitting for the season.

    Hey I had a thought, is that crazy nutzo neighbor still next door? Any way you could turn it into a game?

    I am glad that everyone arrived safely. And I am looking forward to reading how fun Christmas morning is, and the cousins interacting. Enjoy all the family!!!

    ...and speaking of bathrooms - as I've said before - that's what's going to save you!!

    Oh dear. That's a lot of children very close in age! I agree with the locking yourself in the bathroom for a bit of sanity!

    I love having family around but that all sounds a bit overwhelming!
