Its so quiet. I can hear myself think! All I can hear is my typing and the dishwasher running. It's a little hard to believe that we just had over 15 really loud 6th graders over for Rachel's birthday party.
Yes, Rachel is 11 now! And although the house is empty, the party isn't over yet. They've all gone off in 3 separate vans to the swimming pool, and then a choice few are coming back to spend the night.
While they were here they all made personal pizzas. What a project! We used at least 15 lbs of flour, 3 huge bags cheese, three bags of Canadian bacon, tons of pepperoni, 1/3 gal olives, 4 gallons of lemonade. . . you get the idea. You've gotta love Cash'n'Carry, the restaurant supply store in town. From there we got personal pizza pans and, get this, pizza boxes. How come I've never noticed those things when we've gone grocery shopping there? Well, I just did a 15 minute clean-up, and now I plan to go enjoy the silence and review--quiz meet on Saturday (!).
