Insanity descends

Oh my, oh my, oh my! My normally quiet home has transcended into a madhouse! But it’s a happy madhouse.

Yep, the house is chock-a-block with parents and aunts and uncles and siblings and nieces and nephews and friends as we all gear up for the 2nd Annual Freeze Your Fanny and Burns’ Supper Extravaganza. (See the story and photos from the inaugural event here.)

The family began arriving around 2:00 this afternoon and it wasn’t long before the house was filled with laughter and chatter. In fact, the laughter and chatter was still going at nearly 1:00 am – well past my normal bedtime. But as my bedroom is the living room couch, I was forced to participate. (Happily so.)

Tomorrow will start bright and early for those of us travelling to Lewiston for the Freeze Your Fanny 5K. This will be my 11-year-old nephew, Haden’s, second time running the race (last year’s race was his first-ever race) and will be my 11-year-old nephew, Adrian’s, first-ever race of all time. Unbelievably, this will be my 4th entry in the race. Although, with the aforementioned illness, I’ll now be taking it slow.

Whilst we’re running, Dad and my nephew, Parker, will meet in the living room for a Scrabble re-match as Parker tries to de-throne Daddy. There are loads of games and puzzles – and a few hula hoops – for everyone to play with, too.

Schrodie is not happy about the influx of people, but I think she’ll get over it.

Oh, and that photo, if you wondered, is a load of Scottish treats (Tunnock’s!!!) that my Uncle Fred brought with him from Portland, Oregon. If you look closely, you’ll notice the Scotch tape and the napkins – with an Argyle pattern, of course. (His socks were Argyle for the occasion, too, if you wondered.)
