I'm never fancy about it (SUZANNE MACKAY), but every so often I get the itch to get a bunch of people together. Maybe it's a stage of life thing, maybe it's a 'burbs thing, but it often feels like people are pretty busy with their own families here - far more so than when we were in the city. It makes me a little bit sad, or at least a little bit lonely sometimes. I'm a person who needs people. So, every so often I end up doing stupid things like sending out an email to my entire mom (google) group and saying, Hey! Come to my house!
Note to self: not always the best idea, Kathryn.
The morning was mostly happy though! We had a good time, the little ones played well, and we didn't have to make lunch (mediocre pizza). Besides, you can never go wrong with bubbles and a sprinkler. Thanks, Grandma Jan.
Quinn was so excited that I couldn't get beyond putting on his swim diaper. He wouldn't leave the water until his lips were blue and his teeth were chattering, finally begging me to get him cozy in a towel.
(Not pictured: Some of the absolute chaos of a dozen+ littles in my backyard because I was too. stressed. to take any photos. And I deleted an entire paragraph about some of the stressful things that contributed to the chaos. People...)

Between this post and the text messages going around yesterday...what did I miss? I need to hear about this playdate. I meant to ask you today...but forgot. My brain has problems. :)
