The Kid's 9th birthday was on Monday, but we won't see her until Friday. Due to people being in and out of town for vacations, her birthday party at our house is next Thursday. As of right now, those who are scheduled to appear at the party are the two of us, The Kid, Leonard, Penny, The Wife's parents and grandmother, The Wife's brother and sister-in-law, their three kids, and Teapot... their fosterling. So yes... if you're all counting at home, that's seven adults and seven kids aged 1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 9. We haven't figured out where everyone will be sitting, so it's looking like a finger food kind of dinner that night. There's a good chance that we're on the verge of seeing every single toy in the entire house played with in a single evening.
Penny told The Wife the other night that since it's The Kid's birthday and the gifts will be for her, she will just watch her open them and will not be helping. We thought that was pretty good self-restraint for a 3 year old. Have I mentioned how well-mannered and behaved these kids are? If not, I'll say it now. This is SO MUCH better than we had ever anticipated our first placement being. Expect the worst and hope for the best I suppose.
