Friends Over

We have some extra kids over this weekend. Elizabeth and Daniel are no strangers to our house. They stay with us whenever their parents go out of town without them. Their mom had a sisters trip this week. It had been planned for a while and their dad was supposed to take care of them. Sadly, he has been unemployed for a while (oil industry). We was offered a field position for a few weeks. It doesn't pay well, but anything helps. Their mom planned to cancel her sisters trip, but I told her NOT to. She needs this!!! We get the honor of hosting these easy going cuties. 

Trampoline Sleeping

The kids were begging to sleep on the trampoline. Alma was ok with it and since he is the one sleeping in the family room, I let them. My window overlooks the backyard anyway. Lexi is the only one who ended up coming in during the night. 

Sleepover

Lexi's friend, Lucy, came to our house for a sleepover tonight.  The kids requested homemade pizza.  Lucy wanted to eat the dough too.  I made beds for all of them and they watched Smurfs before going to sleep.  

Sibling Sleepover

Now that school is back in session, Lexi and Jordan actually seem to be missing each other.  They have been asking my all week if they could have their own little sleepover.  I told them that they had to wait until a non-school night.  Last night, I set up cushions downstairs so they could have the sleepover.  We watched a movie and then they slept there.  I didn't think it sounded like much fun because our downstairs has been a bit chilly with this colder weather.  I've found myself avoiding it.  They had a great time together though.
