First Sleepover

There is a little boy that lives down our street, Carter, that both of the boys really get a long well with. They have been begging for months to have a sleepover. Finally, I gave in and I invited Carter to spend the night on Wednesday. I told the boys about it that morning and used it for leverage for good behavior all day. It worked. :) They had hot dogs, apples and pretzels for dinner then played boy things until bed time. (By boys things, I mean games I over heard being called "Knock ourselves out" and "You are my robot") I made a bed on the floor in their room, set up an old TV and DVD player on their nightstand and let them watch "Happy Feet" and eat popcorn. They had a blast!
Ryleigh wanted to get in on the fun and I finally had to put her to bed because she was stepping all over them. As you can see, they are trying to see around her to watch the movie.

The movie ended around 9:00 p.m. and I told them it was time to try and go to sleep. I knew they wouldn't, but I thought as the mom I should say it. :) They giggled and giggled until after 11:00 p.m. But, they were really good, I didn't have to tell them to stay in the room and only had to tell them to try and giggle a little quieter a few times. They demonstrated to me their idea of a quiet giggle and I approved. :)Finally asleep! I thought for sure that they would sleep in since they went to bed so late. I was really hoping they would since I didn't go to bed until after midnight and I was up with Ryleigh in the middle of the night for over an hour. But, no such luck. At 6:30 a.m. they were up and ready to go. By 6:45 a.m. they were all dressed and asking for breakfast. :( I gave them a snack and told them I wasn't cooking until Ryleigh woke up. :)
Finally breakfast! Enjoying pancakes. Then we headed to the pool for the afternoon, but after just a short time there, they called L5 (lightening with in 5 miles) and we had to leave. I think they made a good memory and I am sure we will be doing it again soon!
