Family Sleepover and Campout

A couple of weeks ago, we let the kids have a slumber party in our room. We got into PJs at about 5:00 and started the evening off by making brownies. The kids helped, especially with making sure we cleaned off all the brownie batter from the spoons and bowl.

Then, we had a campfire cookout in our bedroom--hot dogs and the trimmings of course! Next we had story hour, and we closed out the night with a movie in the tent. They got to stay up a bit late, but Robby was conked out by 8:45 . . . Despite the fact that his sister kept nudging him and telling him to wake up. She was ready to party all night. And did until almost 11:00 after which we finally got a few hours of zzzzzzz's before she was back up and ready to party at 6:45. As much fun as it was, I think we'll make this fun event a rare special event rather than a fairly regular treat.
