Sleepover at Aunt Haley's

Last weekend, my sister and brother-in-law asked us to watch their kids while they went on a date. It made me realize that having two kids is a peice of cake! Easton loves having kids over to play, so he was sooo excited. It was quite the adventure and we all had lots of fun! Here are some pictures of the highlights.

Dinner on the patio. Easy clean up. Just get out the hose! (I mean for the floor not the kids)

Who wants to say the prayer?

Watching a very intense movie! (Tarzan)

When I went to get my neices pajamas, everything in their bag had somehow gotten wet. We made do with some t-shirts for the big kids and some really big, boy jammies for Raigynn. Easton thought the big t-shirts looked like so much fun, he had to join in too.

AJ said...: How fun for your kids to play together and have overnights together. They are making great memories. I have great memories of sleeping over at your house when we were younger. I was older by enough that it wasn't quite the same, but It was still great fun for me...and a lot of memories. Your mom was a great aunt for sleepovers too! And drive in movies!; September 25, 2008 at 11:53 AM
Tricia said...: I saw your message and would love to put in my two cents, but that's about all it's worth... give me a call sometime and I will try to answer any questions you may have about teaching lessons... And, by the way, your family is stinkin' cute! (787-4050); September 29, 2008 at 11:31 PM
