Boy, oh, boy

See this?

This is a picture of my house from last fall.

And this is my house at Christmastime:

It looks like a fairly calm, serene place, doesn't it?

Well.

In just a few hours, there will be fifteen (count 'em! 15!) 13-year-old boys here for my son's birthday party. And the weather forecast is for rain, so will they be outside playing basketball? Of course not.

Should be fun, right?

So what are you up to this weekend?

    Oh honey, you'd better go to the liquor store for provisions! Good luck with the party. I have a 14 year old; aren't teenagers fun? Sometimes I wonder when the aliens that snatched his soul are going to return it! hehehe

    Your house is beautiful!

    Hope they can manage to not completely trash the place...they are quiet and reasonably well behaved if you keep shoveling food at them...

    I bet you have a great time when they are there....and are worn out when they're gone.
    Not many boys that age would want to come to someone's home. You're a blessed woman.
    Have fun. Send details afterward.
    Your house is beautiful..

    I'll hopefully be in the garden cos it should be nice and sunny here! I hope the rain stays away so all your boys can play outside. I could not imagine a house full of that many kids, let alone boys of that age... good luck ;-)

    Goodness, woman, are you CRAZY?! I'm sure it'll be a blast, but I wouldn't look forward to the clearing up afterwards. Hope you get some time to recover and have a good weekend.

    I am sending a bottle of tequila via FedEx right now. NOT for the boys, of course, but for YOU. ;)

    Have fun, and roll with the punches!!! :) You're a great mama! (PS. I love your house!)

    Your house is SO pretty! And it will be after your herd of boys gets finished with it. It just might need a little airing out. LOL!

    Hey, Richella! Thanks for visiting me. I'm working on a stair project at my house & am excited to see it come together.

    I just LOVE the outside of your home. So inviting!
