Sleepover!

We had a sleepover at our house last night - 7 children aged 8 and under along with myself, Mal, and Coral, Mal's friend (and mother of 3 of the sleepees!) There were three 2 year olds, a 4 year old, a 5 year old, a 7 year old, and an 8 year old. Holy cow, do these kids have energy. And can they eat! They had spaghetti, garlic bread, pizza, cookies, ice cream, more cookies, etc., etc., etc. But they also had a good time (I think!) They played bean bags and cars, they watched movies and cartoons. There's just something about children - they don't worry about where the food comes from - they just eat it. They don't wonder about how the tv works - they just watch it. Who had the money to buy toys for us to play with? That thought never crosses their mind - they just play. Life is much simpler for them - blankets and pillows became forts and buckets on their heads made them robots. How fun. How easy. Hope I can keep some of that (or get some of it back) as I age.
