So Friday night Cole had his first sleepover with his cousin Kadyn. My sister-in-law Kristyn met Eric and I at Chucky Cheese’s and we let the kids run around & then we decided it would be fun to let the kids come over and let them play a little longer and watch some movies or should I say attempt to watch movies. I got the bright idea that we should put Cole’s tent up and they could “camp” in our living room. Unbeknownst to me my husband has 1) never put a tent up & 2) hasn’t gone camping in years. So I ask my husband along with the assistance of Kristyn to get it put up while I give the kids a bath. Little did I know that they would still be trying to get that dang tent up after I managed to give three kids a bath. The vision of my manly man putting the tent up went out the window when I walk in and they have only managed to get the bars in. Sorry honey I had to rat you out. I then enter as I am bound and determined to get that tent up. Mom to the rescue-I come in and with the help of Kristyn get the tent put up. I have to do my yahoo dance in front of Eric to rub it in his face. Eric and I are both competitive and of course we are both always right. Yes honey I won this round.
Now we have the tent up and the movies in. My second bright idea is to pop popcorn for the kids. You can’t watch a movie with no popcorn. Bad idea before it is all said and done Cole and Keira are fighting like brother & sister and have managed to get popcorn everywhere. Kadyn is just sitting quietly trying to watch the movie just taking it all in.
While I have never cleaned up so much popcorn in all my life we had so much fun having them over. I know the kids had blast. After it was all said and done we finally have them settled down to watch their movie.
I will have to add though watching them run around like maniacs and laughing their hearts out confirmed why I am ready for baby number two. Children are the light of our lives and the laughter in our hearts.
