Relaxing week-end

Anniken managed to talk us into having some friends from High-School over Friday night. Normally we always have her friends here Friday night, but this time it was not the normal 6-7 girls, it was a "get-together" with 25 high-schoolers.
Our house is more than big enough, but the acoustic is so terrible that the noice get worse inside, and we are worried about the neighbours.
All these youngsters arrived around 10-11 and left around 4 in the morning!!!!! "Only" 9 slept here and used Anniken's pyjamases and clothes! It's a point that I write that! Because when I got up the next morning to prepare for Sondres Birthday party (celebrating it a little late, I know that) I had to prepare breakfast for the 9 sleep-overs as well as put all the pyjamases in the washing machine!! Hey, I forgot to mention that I made 5 (FIVE) brownies + a HUGE casserole of chicken-curry for the kids on Friday in addition to empty the supermarket for coke and popcorn!!!!
At 11 Saturday morning we left for a soccer stadium to celebrate Sondre's Birthday! Some of Anniken's friends were still sleeping in the house.
When we returned at 4, Sondre brought with him HIS sleep-over guests; a funny and very energetic group of 7 boys. And if you for a second would believe that Anniken would stay home alone, you were wrong!! Another 5 friends for her as well. What we served I cannot remember any longer, because I had to make all the boys' beds and make sure they all went to the shower after the soccer........
Oh yes, T-I made hot-dogs and mashed potatoes. I don't think Brazilian boys have ever seen their dads make dinner :-) They like T-I a lot, he fought and played ping-pong with them while I worked more with the dish-washer and the laundry, cleaned the kitchen, made more bed, argued with Anniken why they couldn't go out in the dark (same old discussion!) and finally got the boys to sleep around 2pm.
The next morning almost everyone has the tradition of going to church, so we had to wake them up and give them breakfast. This time it was their time to argue with their parents whether to go to church or to stay in our house and continue playing. Some lost the argument, some won, some knew there was no point trying to argue.......
I continued the laundry - how many clothes can some teen-agers use during a week-end??? I KNOW Anniken's friends will win the competition anyway!!!!!
In the after-noon the house was half-empty - we were very happy and satisfied to be able to house such a wonderful group - they really are adorable!!
In the beautiful sunshine, T-I and I went out for a run, and I ran much faster than normal :-) Guess I had some energy to get rid off !!!!
Then I was ready for the sofa the rest of the Sunday, but my husband decided to make a churrasco and called Anniken and her friends and invited them all ..........................!!!!! Is he crazy or what??? Only Laura (Anniken's twin sister -where one is, the other one is as well!!) came, so it was a quiet meal!
