(the sun came out for a few seconds.)

and trampoline play.

with games.
and code words.
and all the usual childhood magic.

straw-ba-ba...ba-ba-berry,
cupcakes!

with sprinkles.
christmas, dolphins, dinosaurs, and cows, actually...

and...
let's start pretzels.
yeah.
can't leave anything out....

so 'bout this time the babes all headed back outside,
it's my task to get the dough started for pretzels (before I start dinner - we're having a late dinner, tonight) and what do I hear them chanting from the trampoline?
"Ne-ver stop!  Ne-ver stop!  Ne-ver stop!...."
"Sounds about right," I think.
anyway.  where were we?
oh, yeah.  pretzels.

and dinner....

and packing up (for some)
and more jumping
and more Godzilla
and pretzel eating....

and saying goodbye.
"See you next week!" say the babies while parting.  : )  (They're always planning the next two-day sleepover.)

and now...
now we fall into our beds (or wherever we fall)
and in the morning will get ready for a two-day visit with friends.
whoo!

good enough.
