This was my evening a couple weeks back. Among the challenges of hosting five kids-- sippy cup swapping. Needless to say, I think they all ended up with fairly similar germ-iage by the end of the night. We started a new deal with a few of our friends recently. We've entitled this group "Freedom Frenzy." On a pre-designated Saturday night once monthly, one of four couples takes all the (6) kids at once. Then, said couple receives one night out a month for the next three months. It's a pretty sweet deal and, to be honest, the high-energy chaos of the
frenzy is almost as much fun as the
freedom!
Oh, incidentally, this arrangement has worked out especially well for my husband who coincidentally had to WORK the evening that I had all the kids. Luckily, my mom was in town and she came over to assist...although she did bring two additional guests under the age of 3.

sounds like like a fun-frenzy filled evening for you! i've read about parents doing groups like these, and it always seemed like such a good idea.
You are brave--very brave! I bet it was fun, though!
