Sleepover Parties!

On the weekends, we let our kids have sleepover parties. No, we're not crazy enough to invite their friends over, but we do let them sleep in each other's rooms. We pull out the sleeping bags sometimes, and they sleep on the floor in Maddie's room or in the hallway, or in Tim's full-size bed. We let them talk and laugh a little later than usual, and then they usually fall asleep (although, they often receive threats of having to go back to their rooms at least once).

Well this week, Ethan has been in the States. So, when it came time to decide where to have a sleepover, it was a no-brainer: Mom's room!

When I went to my room the other night, this is what I found:
Believe it or not, I was able to push them both over, get rid of a stuffed animal or two, and find enough room for myself. And yes, I got an elbow in my face in the middle of the night. But, I suppose this is one of those things I will miss someday, right?

It's only really annoying when it's unexpected. When you decide to do it it's all good and it's a great memory. When it's 3am and your 4 year old wakes you up to climb into bed and then proceeds to kick you for three hours that is NOT cool! :) Hope all is well and Ethan makes it home safe and okay. Praying for you!

I love that! What a good idea to have sleepovers!! I love the picture. It's so funny that they ended up that way.
