Company is coming!

Kids get excited over some of the smallest things. Its great really. Makes me wonder why I am not smooshing my face against the window to watch the garbage guys pick up trash. 
However, when it comes to having company over, that's when it gets BEYOND crazy.
My repeat guests have come to expect the overwhelming welcome they receive. 
Here's how to enter my house:

1.  Turn off the engine and lights and glide into my driveway, lest you give your presence away and my children come storming out of the house to attack you.
2.  Never ring the bell. My kids don't bark at it, but they do go barreling toward the door not giving the unsuspecting visitor a chance to even realize what is coming at them.
3.  Knock and come in as quickly as possible lest you get pushed back out the door by kids barreling toward you.
4. Open arms wide so you can embrace the screaming love coming straight at you.

My children are so excited that you feel truly loved: for the first 5 minutes. After that, the thrill has worn off and they go back to whatever they were doing.  Occasionally though, they return for the rare hug or question.
