Easter Break - Kids are Coming Home

The kids are coming home from St Paul Lutheran High School, the best boarding school ever, tomorrow after classes. I have to begin by saying that it is always a joy when they come, especially after such a long time. They were last home at Christmas.
Tom and I went down for a weekend in February to watch their basketball games and I went down for a weekend to see the Spring play (Joshua had a lead). They like to bring students home on breaks.
Usually it is an international (or 2 or 3 or 4) who stays with us. The rule in our house has always been 'you can bring home as many as you can legally put in the car'. The most we had was over Thanksgiving 2 years ago. Four teenage boys from Norway and two from Spain. Let's just say it was very different than our usual guests from Taiwan or Korea. Asian girls are much smaller than Eastern European boys. Nonetheless they all stayed in Joshua's room and our Internet did not crash (10 people and 7/8 computers). I believe that this trip Anna and Mats (Norwegians) are coming this trip. They usually spend a day downtown Chicago (they take the train) and the rest of the time visiting with all the friends from here. It will be loud. The dishwasher, the shower and laundry will be running the whole time but it will be a blast. They will leave on Monday morning and the time that they were here will be over in a blink of an eye. The bright side to all the noise and commotion? They stay up so late they don't get up very early so I have quiet time in the morning and if I start to go really crazy I can go to the gym and sweat off some stress. I just may lose a few pounds - lol.
