Weekend fun!

DadOf3 and I invited some friends over last night to play cards. It worked out really well.

They have an 8 year old girl and an almost 14 year old boy.

The 8 year old and Princess disappeared within minutes of their arrival and the 14 year old really wanted to play cards.

While I was away on my Girl's Gone Wild weekend trip, this family stayed with us. They were in the process of closing on the house they were selling and closing on their new house and were stuck in limbo, without a home for 5 days. I didn't plan to be gone while they were here, although a small part of me was glad to escape having visitors for several days (weak, I know). DadOf3 and the kids were good hosts and I was around for the last night of their stay. While I was away, DadOf3, the 14 year old and his parents played lots of cards! That is how last night came about.

It was a fun night!

Do any of you play cards?

Euchre is really big in our family. I am extremely glad that I learned how to play the game before meeting my in-laws because playing euchre with them can get plenty serious!

We taught our friends Euchre last night and we also played Pitch.

They ended up staying until right around 11:00. That meant that Princess and Prince stayed up until 11:00. It was not a pretty sight trying to tuck these two in! DadOf3 ended up laying down with the Prince and I laid down with the Princess until she fell asleep. DadOf3 fell asleep beside the Prince and I thought it would be cruel to wake him up to tell him to go to sleep so I just left them alone.

I came downstairs, checked some email, and read for an hour or so. It is rare to get an uninterrupted hour of reading....

Because of the late night, we skipped church this morning. The kids would have been awful to their Sunday School teachers.

Speaking of Sunday School teachers, did I mention that DadOf3 and I are going to be Sunday School teachers next year? It will be fun! It is only for a couple of hours one Sunday a month. We may or may not have Prince's class.
