- At least 10 children 5 and under with meltdowns pending at any given moment
- A dinner at Carolyn's house
- A birthday party at Corinne's
- Bell cousins from out of town
- Lang cousins/ aunts/ uncles etc not from out of town helping themselves to our pie
- Any number of tete a tetes between the wild boys
- Lots of amazing food and of course, alcohol
I really wished I would have gotten some pictures but it was just too crazy.Under any normal circumstance, this would have been quite par for the course for our family but I brought my new friend, Fernando, to the party, not quite expecting what was to unfold. Poor guy.
At one point he just looked at me and told me he needed some fresh air.
There are few things I'm sure of:
#1: EVERYONE across the way came over - like a procession of sorts, shuffling in casually to introduce themselves to him while he was stilling sitting at the table. You people may say it was because the (amazing) pie Melody made, but I'm on to you. Cherie even politely brought her food from Corinne's and sat right next to him.
#2: Despite the circumstances, Fernando handled himself quite well, and in response to my question about my crazy family said, "They are no crazy peoples, just a lotta kids"
#3: Kyla had the best line of the night: "I just met Reen's friend and I think his name is Lombardo!"
Welcome to Crazy Town, Fernando!
here's a picture if you haven't met him yet:
