Day 10 - Movie Night with the Wild Six

My friend and I both have 3 girls and all our girls are under the age of seven. Every one of our girls have strong personalities and when we go places we feel like we just don't arrive, we seem to take over. Tonight I invited the girls over for a late night movie night, something we haven't yet attempted. So began my new thing for the day.


Tonight I had 6 girls on the couch, Madelynn 7, Madeline 7, Hailey 5, Margaret 4, Miriam 3, and Kyndall 2. They all got in their PJs, got their blankets, and parked it. They laughed and giggled together while shoveling handfuls full of popcorn in their mouth. If you think 6 teenage girls is loud, try 6 under the age of 7. They all talk to each other in one voice, loud, and each one gets louder with a new story to share. Their laugh though, it is almost contagious, and once one starts giggling, they all follow in a matter of seconds. My friend and I just sit and smile. We have learned so much from each other including the importance of patience and ear plugs. We love to sit and have a soda pop and laugh at how crazy our kids are.

Tonight my new thing was movie night with the wild six and although I have lost hearing in my left ear, we had a blast.
