Sleepover!

The boys desperatly wanted to have a sleepover last night...with Justin serving as host...so I relented, even though I know it means a late night and crabby boys the next day:( These are the times I try and let go as a mother and just relax! They are only kids once right? And I do want them to have fond memories of growing up together and having fun...I promise I do! The two little ones spent the afternoon "setting up" (Jared just goes with the flow), which meant dragging the sleeping bags out, getting pillows and making sure all of the bug lanterns had batteries...on a side note, does anyone else go through as MANY batteries as we do? I have started buying them at Dollar Tree just cause I can't afford our habit!...Anyhoo...they got things just so, which included making sleeping bags for stuffed animals (a backpack, which I might add it pretty resourceful!) and were pretty excited at bedtime.

After some reading time, it was lights out...YAH RIGHT. It was already 9:30 by this time, and Travis had NO intention of settling down with all of the excitement. He jabbered away forever, driving his brothers nuts. This is why I am so thankful that at this point, the boys all have their own rooms...each one of them falls asleep differently, but thats OK, since they aren't bugging anyone else! Travis obviously tends to chatter himself to sleep!

Doesn't he look so cute! At 10:30 when we headed to bed, I still heard him sleepily muttering, and decided not to bother him...I figured he was on his way out. When I opened up the door this morning, all three of them were passed out! Travis was not even in his sleeping bag! But, it appeared that a good time was had, so hopefully nobody will be ugly today!
