Like I said, my friends have plenty of kids and I love them! I adore having them over. The M Family kids came over to my house recently to spend some a weekend with us so that their parents could enjoy their 9th Anniversary away from Tampa. Now, I haven’t had any children spend the night with me, ever. I know I’m good with kids so this wasn’t a daunting thing for me. My husband on the other hand, he was nervous. He hasn’t had to share our home with kids for more then a few hours but I am truly happy and proud of how he reacted, he was great!

First thing, I knew I needed to have plenty of crafts available to us. I’m pretty sure I bought all of Michaels on my first trip. That’s right, I said first trip. We went back one more time once they were at my house because I forgot “those puffy things”. We made Costume masks, painted stained glass and worked on another craft that I couldn’t even tell you the name of.

While they were here, I knew we had to do something special for Mom and Dad so we made special Happy Anniversary cards from magazine cut outs for them. And since I happen to have a very lovely photography studio in my home, we took photos too.

The photos, the cards, everything went over so great with them and the kids were so happy to give these to them. These kids are BEAUTIFUL!
