sleepover

We have been planning for sometime to have Owen come spend the night, and with only one weekend left in Lafayette, it seemed like good timing.  Jen & Matt needed to get to Maker's Mark to pick up a special barrel of bourbon, so Owen stayed with us (I wasn't brave enough to take on Elliott, too).  

We were busy.  It wasn't completely intentional.  Going into the day, I wasn't sure what we would do.  Owen came over just after 9am and the kids played.  Jordy was moving some stuff to our storage unit, so we had to go pick up a uHaul at noon and we had a house showing at 1pm.  I sent the kiddos to Mimi's for 20 minutes so I could get the house in good shape and then we dropped Jordy off to pick up the truck.  

We headed to Chuck E. Cheese to kill some time.  Watching two kids at Chuck E is much more challenging than one.  I just let them have the run of the place and tried to keep up.  

After Chuck E. Cheese we went to Target. They were both excellent there.  I needed to get a birthday present for a party next weekend.  I debated taking them with me, but it all worked out.  

We came back to the house and I let them rest by watching  about 30 minutes of TV.  When that was over, we had to take Doodle to get a hair cut.  They loved wandering around looking at all of the animals.

When we came back they played monsters with Mimi a little longer while I ran to the tanning bed and grocery store.  Mimi cooked us a "feast" as they kept saying.  It was burgers, potatoes, fruit, and rice with broccoli.  While the food was cooking, the kids had a dance party in Kaylea's room.  

After dinner, they called for us to pick up Doodle, so we headed back to the pet store and stopped for ice cream on the way home.  Around 8:30, Jordy put on a movie for the kids.  I thought they might fall asleep while watching, but they didn't.  At 10:00 I hoped in bed with Owen and Jordy rocked Kaylea in the chair.  In less than 15 minutes they were both sound asleep!
