First Sleepover…


I know I am posting this late. I will have to refer to the details on the picture to remember the exact night but it was an event for our family for two reasons. #1 – It was the boy’s first sleepover and #2 Andrew and I actually got to go on a date (with Emma, but really when you are use to three and are down to having only one it is kind of like being together alone).

That afternoon my friend Jessica called and asked if the boys could sleep over. Her two sons are the same age as Satchel and Gehrig. As soon as Gehrig woke up from his nap I told him the exciting news and he spent the time till Satchel came home from school peeking out the front window waiting as patiently as a 5-year old can to tell his brother about the sleepover.

From the moment Satchel got home it was all about how much time was left until they could leave…and that wasn’t me wondering…it was them. :) We got out sleeping bags and loaded their backpacks with clothes, stuffed animals, and treats. Well, that only took a couple of minutes so we were then left to wait for a while.

When it was finally time they ran outside and I had to yell after them to be good and that I loved them…to this day I am not sure they actually heard me with all the commotion going on. Anyhow, when they came back the next morning they talked about how much fun it was and what they did. Thanks Jessica!
