[photo taken last friday afterschool]
Because fridays are early out days a group of kids walk home together and somehow they all congregate here for drinks, snacks, and some good/needed play time. They did this quite a bit last year, but you never know if these things will stick. Well, so far we're two for two.
I always wanted to be the house everyone came to. Now, to think of a way to keep it happening....better snacks?

Good snacks always help!
Believe me - it's all about the food! We just took our eldest little to college (sob) and I, in turn, lost three additional mouths to feed with his friends. It has, and always will be, about the FOOD/SNACKS at your home.
Such a small price to have everyone come to YOUR home!
That's so great. Even though I get a little OCD when there are tons of kids in my house, I have to talk myself down and tell myself that it's a huge compliment and a wonderful thing. I love what PCP said, "It's a small price to pay..." because you are investing in your relationship with your children and opening your home up to their friends means that you accept who they are and want to have them around.
Ha ha ha! Judging by this picture, the snacks aren't the draw. Just keep your stairs clutter-free and they'll be there every Friday. :D
Huh. I guess I'd better make sure I have good snacks around! I would like to be the house where kids want to be as well.
