popcorn party

We had a family party at my house tonight because C and her family who live in AZ are in town.

Everyone was supposed to bring a treat to share. In an unprecedented moment, we all brought popcorn: two caramels and one regular salt.

Then the party was saved when C brought a pumpkin pie and cookies. Fortunately she didn't get the popcorn memo.

Even though we were missing two siblings, I wanted to take a few pictures. In my mind this would be an easy task.

I was wrong.

I'm not sure if the photographer (ahem, R) was to blame as she took 472 pictures in rapid succession. Or if we just can't grow up and all look at the camera at the same time and smile.

I now know why my boys pull faces in every single picture I ever try to take of them. It's apparently genetic, passed down from Uncle R.

You're killin' me Smalls.

(or Talls, ha!)

If you people can't behave, I will have to use my crazy eyes.

Consider yourselves warned.

While we were having our photo session, the kids were all trying their hardest to bring down the house.

Running, chasing, gaming, throwing, screaming, running, chasing, rinse and repeat.

I'm pretty sure if my siblings in Colorado and Indiana happened to open a window tonight they would have heard the roar coming from my house.

And the popcorn?

In every room, on every floor. I'm glad we didn't all bring chocolate cake.

Here's those crazy kids in age order, with the babies placed here and there.

Now, a few hours later, I'm happy to report that the house is still standing and my ears are almost done ringing. (I'll deal with the popcorn floors tomorrow.)

A successful party if there ever was one!

(Except that A and L were missing. Seriously, it's time to move back. We miss you. We need you.)

Oh, I am so happy for these pictures. LOVE THEM! Thank you so much. I love when move enters the picture backward. Laughed. So mom. Then I laughed a few pictures after she entered and KT's eyes are closed. Uncle R did not behave at all. lol

Love all the kids and to think there are four more missing. Wow! To think my crazy hair colors could be in there. haa haa
