No, that is not my new philosophy on growing families, however it is the number of children that were at my house for the Super Bowl last Sunday. Oh my goodness! You cannot believe the deafening silence that fell when everyone left. Believe it or not, it was a blast though. All 21 children played wonderfully together. The older boys created their own entertainment with their DS Systems and the younger kids spent the evening playing upstairs and then downstairs, and then upstairs, and then downstairs. We had knights sword fighting, architects working on the latest skyscrapers, civil engineers designing roadways, mommies going shopping and taking care of little ones, there were artists coloring the most beautiful pictures and even making some origami. It was a wonderful night, though I think most hard core super bowlers would have been very disappointed in the fact that no one watched the game. The real moms thoroughly enjoyed an evening of adult conversation to the soundtrack of the laughter of our children, played out in front of a spread of all that is unhealthy and yummy. While it didn't bother us to have not seen one play, we do know who won the game - Way to go Saints!!!
