Yesterday we had a legitimate Buc's Party. Legitimate. Usually a Buc's party includes myself, a sleeping Amy, and if I'm lucky, one other person. We had 11 this time, including Connar. Since Connar had not had a full night's sleep for several days, neither had Amy. She was tired and not really in the mood to have a large crew over. It seemed like a big deal. But the kids provided the food and beverages.
In the end, as she and I always do, we had a blast. The youth stayed until 9 pm (game started at 4 pm), playing with Connar and giving us a little break. It seemed like a sacrifice to have people over. But it turned out to be quite a blessing. This is more often than not the case with hospitality. You sacrifice very little at the front end, but you sacrifice a lot of joy in the long run when you only practice hospitality when you feel like it.
Here's a video of one of our youth entertaining Connar through his "b-boxing." I think we've discovered our next great pacifier.
