Gatherings

Last night we had 2 families over for pizza and Macguyver.  There were 5 adults and 12 adults.  It was a great combination of kids.  One of the dads brought out Lotteria, a spanish bingo game.  We had a good time figuring out what the spanish word was for each picture.  The illustration for "El Mundo" showed a speedo clad man holding the earth, sometimes with long and sometimes short hair.  Is the man "El Mundo"?  No.  El Mundo is the world and the man is just Hercules according to the man but perhaps he meant Atlas?  We laughed to tears over "La Chalupa" which showed a woman in a canoe.  Was it the woman or the canoe?  Our friend told us it was the woman in the canoe.  And we just laughed an the joke that a woman in a canoe was an important word to know in spanish.  I love it when something is that funny but will never come across as that funny in print.

La chalupa does mean narrow boat, but this is what the image search shows.  Believe me.  It was hilarious.

Today we had another 2 families that sign over.  We had 12 kids again and 7 adults this time.  Hurray for getting to have so much friend time out of cleaning my house just one time.  I made 10 pizzas in the last 24 hours and a half flat of strawberries is no more. 

I'm so grateful for our home.  It has plenty of room to have friends over.  It's such a blessing and P emphasizes to the kids that we can show our gratitude by sharing our home.
