This is what the Cathedral looked like this morning- and its much like how I FELT!
BBug and friends condescended to be collected from their function at 3am (courtesy of the Hub's endurance) and Sos' lot arrived by taxi soon after 6am...BBug's friends had sore feet from all the dancing and decided to soak them...
When I returned from Church (Palm Sunday folks!) I served late breakfast, which ran into lunch, which ran into tea! I think there were 14 young people in total, but its hard to count when they mill around and swarm! They all went and climbed the nearest hill during the afternoon to work up an appetite (I hadn't noticed it waning to be honest...), and just talked for Ireland. For me it was completely painless and very entertaining to hear all the chit-chat!
...birthday cake didn't turn out as planned, but BBug found these great candles so it didn't matter- and its all gone now, guess the Grandparents won't be getting a slice this year!

And so we reach the end of another Birthday for Sos-they are always the wildest...is it safe to sleep now?
Well done - I always dreamed of having parties like that and having friends over to stay - which my Mum would never entertain! I'm only in my late 30s - but I feel so old looking at those pictures! Looks like they were having a great time ;-)
ReplyDeleteA whirlwind weekend to be sure! What a nice hostess you are.
ReplyDeleteThat looked like fun! Happy Birthday!!!

It looks like the kids all had a wonderful time! My youngest babies are 36 now, but I remember many happy chattering parties. They were fun, but I was exhausted afterward!
ReplyDeleteI should think you're ready to sleep for Ireland by now. What a hectic weekend. I hope they helped with the clearing up before they left!
ReplyDeleteIt looks to me like they had a great time!
ReplyDeleteWhat Fun!! But oh so exhausting for the parents!! I remember days like this but now all the teens in our family are grandchildren, so we don't have to host the parties. God knew what He was doing when He gave children to younger people. LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a God Filled Day
