Ethan's First Sleepover

Traci and I had been talking for a long time about having a sleep over for the boys. We didn't know what age was the right age to try. We finally decided...what the heck...what's the worst than can happen? Having to pick them up in the middle of the night? We decided that Colton would be the guinea pig and stay the night at our house.





Traci, Mondo, and I took the boys to see Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel then Mondo and I took Colton back to our house. They played, had dinner, showered, then laid on the couch and watched a movie. Ethan passed out after about 20 minutes. I took him to his bed then sat on the couch with Colton for a while and watched some more of the movie. Then I put him in bed with Ethan and gave him a hug and his little voice cracked and he said, "I think you need to call my mom and tell her to come get me." Darn! I thought I was home free until that moment. I really think he would've been fine if Ethan hadn't fallen asleep on the couch and they could've gone to bed at the same time. Anywho, I called Traci and she talked to him for a while then I talked to him a bit more and he decided he would stay. I watched a little more of the movie with him then took him to bed...and he went right to sleep! I didn't hear a peep out of them all night. I was really shocked at how well it went.

Next it will be Ethan's turn to stay the night at Colton's...we'll see how that goes. Maybe Mondo, Caleb and I will get a hotel room in N. Richland Hills that night. :-)


Having McDonald's for dinner. Can't go wrong there! (Take a close look at Ethan's arm...see the bruise? It's STILL THERE from when he broke it!)


Popsicles for dessert. Yes, we made them sit in the kitchen to eat them. I didn't want red, white, and blue carpet!


All squeaky clean after a shower. I didn't know they had matching pj's. Of course Ethan HAD to wear his when he saw Colton's. Love this picture!

Enjoying some eggs, pancakes, bananas, and OJ after a successful slumber party!
