We have two amazing kids sleeping over tonight. They are brother and sister. He's 9 and she's 11. They are the kind of kids that would fit easily into my family and make me happy to have six!
Plus, their mom is one of those people that you know from the instant you meet them that they are kind and generous. The kind of person we all need in our lives. She also happens to work at the very best restaurant in our neck of the woods and her husband is the chef. Most definitely the people you want in your life!
They are both working tonight and were in need of a babysitter. I offered up our house without hesitation. As we were sitting eating dinner with all six! kids i was laughing and having so much fun and everything just felt really nice. I thought that this is how i hope it is when my kids visit their friends houses. Friends, good friends, when you find them they are like family.
I had a point somewhere here and now i've lost it. I think i just really like good people. I like nice kids. I like having my house full of loud, laughing, stomping when they should be sleeping – kids.
perfect friends

this post makes me miss sleep overs. all the junk food and giggling and such. sleeping on bad 70s shag carpet in my sleeping bag. makes me smile.
To have kids over who fit so well into your own family is wonderful. To have their parents be great people, too, is nothing short of amazing.
I only had sleepovers when my birthday came around and they were fraught with anxiety. MY parents were strict and there wasn’t as much to do at our house. My dad hated the noise we made. I don’t mind when kids spend the night here, though those days are coming to a close for all except the yougest boy.
I haven’t the slightest doubt that they think your family is the awesomest and that they hope their parents need to ‘dump’ them on you frequently.
I wish someone would dump ME on your house once in a while.
It’s things like that, that I look forward to as the kids get older. :)
