It was a flurry of activity this weekend at our house. We started out on Friday morning with phone call from our good friends, Kathleen and Scott. At 32 weeks pregnant, her water broke and sent her to the hospital. Of course we were concerned about her well being (she is fine--no baby as of yet, keep your fingers crossed that she can keep it in for a few more days!), but that meant that we picked up her hosting duties for our small college reunion! So we had 2 families staying with us on Friday night--4 extra adults and 7 extra kids. It was a blast! We all bunked up and put the kids in sleeping bags all over the place. Everyone did pretty well--except Annalise who was up at night because of a storm. Because of all the visiting and feeding of children, we didn't take many pictures. Sadly, this is all I have of our reunion. Kids (and one mom) all around the table for pancake breakfast!
Here's the other side of the table--Thanks for visiting Klings and Reeves. We REALLY need to do this more often!

Then we started preparing for our next party to say good bye to our neighbors who are moving to Chicago at the end of the week.

Here's Annalise's pinata that she made and stuffed full of candy.

And Evie's pinata. See, kind of looks like a Purdue football helmet.

These kids got into the swing of things right away.

And this little guy was caught double fisting watermellon slices. He had a lot of watermellon on that white shirt.

There were push ups for dessert. Evie and her friend who is moving.

And in the grand tradition of the Seibert Campouts of the 80's, I had lots of activities planned for the kids. We had a water balloon toss.

Which turned into chaos. Check out those really big kids....

This dad better watch out for his little girl!

Annalise shows how wet she got from the balloon.

Even though there were 14 adults milling around, situations such as this managed to happen.

Then it was pinata time. Instead of blindfolding them, we made the kiddos spin on a bat before taking a swing.

Everyone got a chance to hit the helmet.

And when the candy fell, chaos again!

We will miss you Byrne Family! Safe travels to your new home!
