Our good friends Stacy and Julie Dollar, and their three kids, Justin, Aaron and Jessica stayed with us last night on their way home to Grand Junction, CO. We stayed with them for five nights this summer, so it was good to see them again, and to return the favor.
We live in a three bedroom, two bath condo/apt. It worked out pretty well to house five extra people. I learned a couple of things from the experience.
1. We need more bowls. I think over the years quite a number of them have broken, and I became more aware of the fact when six kids sat down to eat their cerial.
2. Our girls are hospitable. They stayed up late two nights ago and cleaned and orgainzed their room and bathroom very nicely. The motivation of guests is much more compelling than mom or dad expounding on the virtues of chores. They loved sharing their space with friends.
We had a great time talking, the kids had fun, and it was a good, but short, experience all around.

Hey Heidi! Let's see if this goes through...had trouble the last time I tried to comment, you know...
That sounds like a lot of fun. It must be nice to see Madeline and Abigail really enjoying making a nice environment for their guests! That is a great virtue. :)
