Mi casa es su casa

Yesterday, I had this crazy idea to invite some people over. So I ran some errands, warned hubby at work that we were going to have some people over later that day, and started to make preparations for an unexpected BBQ. People started dripping in around 11 AM and by 6 PM there were 5 adults and 8 children, sitting on the terrace, enjoying the sun and a good time.

Hubby is the best BBQ cook. He knows how to cook meat. I take care of the salads, baked potatoes, skewer vegetables, prebaking the meat, serving drinks and making dessert. The kids had a blast! They played in the pool for a while and then decided to make camps. One camp for the two boys, another camp for the two seven year old girls and a third camp for the other girls. We hardly heard them, so us adults had a good conversation on the terrace, enjoying a cool glass of wine. It got a little chilly around 10 PM, so the kids cleaned up whatever they had played with (believe me, the back yard was packed with stuff), without protesting. They were nacked.

It's been a great day. I love to have people over...
