Sleepover at the Perot Museum

I have been really excited about taking the boys to a sleepover at the Perot.  We were thrilled to get a spot, even though it was right after returning from vacation.  It was a Super Hero themed night, and we all had a great time.  We couldn't help but think about the movie with Ben Stiller.  Would these guys come alive?

My Super Heroes

"Throw the bone!"

We also were treated to a 3D movie.  Overall the night was a great success, and we enjoyed exploring the museum with only a few hundred people.  When it was time to sleep, I got a big uncomfortable, but the boys were happy as could be.  We slept on the dinosaur floor with a great view.  Awesome night with my boys!

Slumber Party

We must have been a little crazy to have two boys spend the night.  Charlie and Travis stayed with us, and Ryland and Reed were thrilled.  Ryland had a baseball game Friday night, so we all headed to the ballpark.  It was a bit hectic to keep up with four kiddos running around the park, but they stuck together.  Of course, no night is complete until the boys' bathroom is shut down, so you can go in and get a little boy that wet his pants.  And of course, you don't have spare clothes for him.  

When we got back home, the big boys were building a fort in the game room and wouldn't let the little boys in to play.  We decided that we would just make our own fort.  Little did they know that I have spent years making forts as a child, so they were so impressed with the fort we built.  The big boys were begging to come play with us, and we had to tell them, too bad, too sad.

Buddies

We traded boys tonight with the Bunch family - We took Travis, and they took Ryland.  Reed and Travis were thrilled to have their very first sleepover, but not before we had some fun at Chuck E Cheese.  These two boys are crazy apart and even crazier together!  They had a blast playing the arcade games and finished the night on a pallet in the gameroom watching cartoons.  They laughed and played late into the evening before finally crashing.

If you "mustache"

Ryland's buddy, Charlie, was spending the night, so we thought we would eat pizza for dinner.  We ended up at Aleda's for some fun shaped personal pizzas.  The boys all selected pepperoni snowmen.  While we waited on the pizzas, the boys played with pizza dough.  John Chris and I would tell them something to make, and they would shape the dough into their interpretation.  The mustaches were the funniest.  I love these boys!

 

Knights

Ryland's friend, Charlie, spent the night, and the fun continued on the next morning.  After breakfast they both dressed up as knights and chased around the house slaying dragons.  There was a lot of screaming and chopping.  The knights decided that our dog, Cooper, looked just like a brown hairy dragon.  A chase took place, and only the knights came back downstairs.  He was unarmed but hiding pretty well.  Smart dog.  Crazy knights!
