Preparing for Guests

Yay!!! Our cousins, aunt, and grandparents should be here within the next 2 1/2 hours! Papa and Mom had commitments at church, but we (Sylvia, Knut, Cecily, Thor, Gloria, and Bjorn) are waiting at home for our guests. This afternoon we've done a lot of preparation for their arrival! Gloria is moving from my room to the couch in Cecily's room so that Camryn can sleep in her half of the bed. Bjorn is moving in with Thor and Knut in their room (Ethan will sleep there also) so that Sloan can have his bed. So we'll have a room for the biggest girls, a room for the younger girls, and a room for the boys.

As well as getting beds and rooms sorted out, there was some housecleaning, cooking, etc. to do.

 Mom offered $1 to anyone who would clean the upstairs bathroom. Knut gladly volunteered! Personally I don't think it would be worth it, but if he's happy, then I'm happy, too!

Gloria is quite pleased with her bed!

The boys' room:

 Note: what looks like a spiderweb of yellow string is actually stun lasers.

 Don't worry; they would never actually kill us... because we would never actually go in there through the 'stun lasers'. :D
