The Sleepover!

Last Friday, Chris and I had Sariah, Zac, Ally, and Brook sleepover so that my sister, Amy, and her husband could have a date night and go to the temple Saturday morning.  We had a blast!! 

 

We started out with pigs in a blanket for dinner which was a big hit!  I tried to get a picture of dinner, but they were done by the time I got the camera out and ready to go.  Then we played games all together, fed the ducks in the pond behind our house and had the kids settle down in their sleeping bags to watch a movie while they fell asleep.  We had an air mattress in the living room that the three older kids slept on, and we set up Brook's pack and play right beside it.  Chris and I slept on another air mattress downstairs with them as well.  We finally got them to bed about 9:30 - not bad for a sleepover! 

Zac, of course wanted to play the Playstation, so Sariah, Ally, Brook, and me played with Brooks "cards", Sariah's memory game, and Ally's petshop.   Chris was the go-to for help on Lego Batman when Zac got stuck.  

Then, we had "circle pancakes" in the morning for breakfast, except for Sariah who wanted a "P" pancake.  They were yummy!  Then we all got dressed and went to the little playground by our house.  It wasn't quite as big as they expected, but we still had plenty of room to play Star Wars.  I got to be Darth Vader, Ally was Ben Kanobe, and Zac was Luke Skywalker.  

This is Darth Vader and Ben Kanobe fighting on the space ship.  

Brooke had fun just running around playing with Uncle Chris and going up and down the stairs.

Luke Skywalker on his way to rescue Ben Kanobe from "the prison".

 

Sariah had fun sitting with Uncle Chris watching Star Wars. 

It was pretty cold, as you can tell, so we didn't play outside for very long.  Once Luke destroyed the Death Star, we all went back to the house and got some bread to go feed the ducks one more time.  Sariah was brave enough to come with us this time and she got on my shoulders and even threw some bread to them.  I wanted to get pictures of that, but didn't have enough hands for bread and kids!  Maybe next time.  

Then we all came back inside and the boys played more Lego Batman, while the girls went upstairs and watched Chip and Dale in my bed until Amy and Joseph came to get them.  We had such a fun time with them!  It was Brook's first time spending the night somewhere without her mommy and she did great!  In fact, I think it was way harder on her mom that it was on her! Thanks for letting them play with us Amy!
