LAST NIGHT'S PHOTOS

Here's the photos Blogger refused to load last night. The kids all chose a bouncy ball when it was time to go home. Some put them on their heads.

Some just smiled a million dollar smile.

Some covered their faces so...

...I had to retake, but Butterfly had already flitted off.

Some had coats on their heads and some squinted. I retook that one too but the next one...

...wasn't any better.
The oldest of the group, she's getting tall and beautiful.

And now it's time for me to go on a bouncy ball buying expedition as the jar is getting empty. After dinner we hardly had any dessert eaters, they all trooped downstairs to play.

Here is Kraut--the daddy of all these great kids--with the baby of the group. He helps his dad read the comics.

And the momma--The Soap Queen--who loves all her children with an intensity that all mothers can understand.

Thanks, Kraut and Soap Queen for bringing seven of my favorite short people to dinner.
