zoo days

My sis and her husband are here with their 6 kids for the week.  That makes 11 kids (under 13) and 4 adults in one house for several days.  How do we cope?

Well....
1.  The kids play outside for much of the day- rain or shine (of course in Olympia it's mostly rain...).
2.  Laundry must be a constant.   Today I did 5 loads (though we're catching up from hunting week, so there's plenty of extra).
3.  A beach towel is a perfect hand towel for 11 kids.
4.  Quadruple all recipes.
5.  Pick up all day.  Clean once a day. or every other day.  or not at all.
