Overnighter Part One: Arrival

Recently I was lucky enough to invite myself along to a blogger mini-break.  Haha, really.  Rhiannon and Kristin were planning a week weekend escape to visit Dee, and so with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer, I hinted that I would like to go too.  And they kindly obliged this wish.  What dear, sweet girls!

I already felt like I knew the other girls.  All those blog posts add up, and as Rhiannon pointed out, everyone turned out to be just as their blogging-self had suggested.  The cute part was that the kids seemed to feel the same.  In particular the four littlies, totally into each other!  So much so that Eleanor and Danny Arlo were not even remotely interested in going to bed when the rest of the other kids did... sigh...

We arrived to the smell of fresh bread baking, and the wee ones immediately set to, demolishing food and then house.  They clearly felt quite at home.

It was pretty entertaining, if you are entertained by a bunch of mini people getting up to mischief.  I am. And I was.

Up to something?  You betcha!

I have a ton more photos to share (seriously).  I'm determined to post all my favourite shots, despite the fact that there are several million of them, and well, since it's my blog, I guess I just will.  Yup.  

Just check out the pretty room I got to sleep in!  Loveliness!
