8 kids for a weekend

My kids counted down the days until their aunt and uncle would leave on their trip so we could babysit the cousins for a couple days. Having 8 kids for the weekend made for a crowded house but, so fun too. The bigger cousins were more helpful than anything else and everyone had a blast. 
6 of them watching a movie
 The thumb sucking two.
On Friday night Andrew and Joe got lucky with really great lower bowl tickets to the Jazz game with Dave and Papa when Jerry Sloan was honored. There goofy hyper dance moves even got them on the jumbo tron two times. 
On Saturday Andrew and Joe stayed for Andrew's last Jr. Jazz basketball game while the rest of us drove to Lehi for the kids' second cousin's baptism. Then I took everyone 3 and up sledding and we had a great time. 
On Sunday we made it to church on time and filled like a circus shuffling in so many. That evening we handed them back to Nana and Papa and went home to a suddenly quiet, calm home and my kids missed their cousins terribly!
