We had another fun filled weekend. Our dear friends the Kilbournes kindly entrusted their two girls Madie and Jenna in our care for the weekend. Jackson and Mollie Jane counted down all week how many days until Friday when the official sleepover weekend began.
Friday night we had pizza and then got to have the ever famous powdered sugar donuts in bed with a movie. It was a big hit.
Saturday "Uncle Ja" or "Daddy" got up and fixed cinnamon toast and eggs and then we all headed out to the Home Depot for their kids building projects that they do free the first Saturday of every month. The kids had a blast and Jason thought for a moment his back was going to go out trying to build four racetracks. We did a little shopping and just trying to maneuver four bodies in a cart was a little funny. I told Jason I got so many looks in the store like this couple with four kids and there she is pregnant again. We just laughed and decided no matter how crazy we looked we'd claim all four of them any day. They all did so great and played outside all day Saturday. Jason talked them into doing yard work by picking up all the "pokey balls" that feel from our trees in the yard and then we had a big bonfire in the fire pit in the back yard.
Winston helped tuck us into bed on Saturday night and had to leave the sleepover a little sooner than expected because he had terrible gas and kept getting under the sheets!
Sunday, Jason had to teach so I got all the kids up and looking spiffy for late church and we were only five minutes late plus a time change!!! We then had a fabulous lunch in our playhouse and once again played all afternoon outside until it was too dark to see.
Madie and Jenna's Mom "Ms Natalie" missed her flight and so is coming late tonight to pick them up after they are asleep and take them home. I know it stressed Natalie out but we have enjoyed ever extra minute with Jenna and Madie and got to get one more movie and donut session in. Poor Mollie Jane really wanted to be included in the sleepover each night but did really good when she had to be whisked away to her crib. Jackson said tonight as he was going to bed "Are Madie and Jenna really going to be gone in the morning when I wake up?" I don't think we could love Madie and Jenna any more than we already do. We sure had a great weekend and want them to come back again soon so we can have an excuse for some more donuts and movies in bed.
