Sleepover

Caden and Kayla had a sleepover this weekend. After shipping them off to other homes a few time before, it was our turn to host. Ella and Mason are their best buddies and we love to have them around.

The crew. Mason, Ella, Caden, Avery and Kayla.
The kids had a lot of fun playing with Caden's bug collection. Yes, I mean taking those little critters out of the cage (after I told them not to). The also played a intense game of dodge ball of the bed. Caden would throw the big exercise ball at them and see who he could knock over. We tried to settle down and watch a movie, but as you can guess that didn't last long. I mean who wants to sit and watch a movie when you can jump on the bed and dance around.

Sweet little Ella finally came to me at 8:30 and asked if she could please go to bed. (How many 3 year olds do that?) So we get Kayla and Ella all settled into bed on Kayla's floor.

I tuck them in and head downstairs. About 2 minutes later I hear the singing and dancing and the boys head upstairs to join the party that just won't stop. After a little more playing and some stories they all were asleep at 10:00. And in true sleepover fashion they were up at 7:00. Energy level: High .........Fun Level: Even higher........Overall: Total success
