Sleepover Fun!

Avery had her first sleep over this past weekend. Her cousins, Kaitlin and Eddie, stayed over Saturday night until Sunday. They have never slept over before. I know, I know, I am a horrible aunt. They are 5 and 8 and I have never had them sleep over yet.

We picked them up and went to Chuck E Cheese. Avery was excited 1. Because she likes hanging out with her cousins and 2. She has never been to Chuck E. Cheese before. I gave them each about 33 tokens and told them that was all they were going to get. Tim was having fun and ended up buying more tokens for the kids. The kids had about 650 tickets to buy stuff with. We used Avery’s tickets to buy cotton candy J

After that, we came home and started watching the Sponge Bob Squarepants movie. I bought popcorn and lots of candy for the kids. Halfway through the movie, they wanted to go up and see the chickens. Kaitlin loves them and picks them right up. She is very brave. Eddie is interested in them but  a little more hesitant. Avery is a little in between but she gets to see them more so she is more comfortable with them.

We then started watching Rio 2. Around 11:15 I tried putting Avery to bed. She cried and cried and cried. After 20 minutes, Tim told me to go get her and bring her back on in the living. He said this is her first sleepover, let her stay up as long as she wants. The kids brought cots over (like the ones Avery sleeps on at daycare) and we put them in Avery’s room. We were setting them up and Avery grabbed her blanket and Kaitlin’s stuffed animal and was fake sleeping on the cots. It was quite cute.

I finally put Avery to bed around 1 and the kids went to bed around 1:30. Avery woke up at 6am. When I pulled her out of the crib, she said “ehh ehh” and pointed at Eddie and Kaitlin. She was super excited to see they were still over our house. I changed her diaper and fed her a bottle and then put her back to bed. Everyone slept until about 9:15 which I was excited about since that meant I could sleep until 9:15.

The next morning, we went to McDonald’s for breakfast and then played in the play area there. Socks were required and the kids didn’t have any because they were wearing Crocs. I never knew it but apparently McDonald’s sells pairs of socks for $1 for this exact reason. All the money goes to the Ronald McDonald House.  We bought some socks and then it was time to play. Avery started playing on the baby slide but then saw Kaitlin and Eddie go up the steps to the big slide. Avery then wanted to be cool like her cousins so she went up there (with Kaitlin and Eddie’s help). She cried and threw a fit when we told her we had to go home.

Overall, I think Avery loved spending so much time with her cousins and I think her cousins had a good time too. I am pretty sure that my sister may have bribed them because they were excellent the whole time. Avery can't wait to have them over again.

 

We can't wait to use our tokens but Mommy wanted to take a picture of us first!

 

Kaitlin was so good at Skeeball. She got it in the 10,000 a few times!

 

I wanted to be like Kaitlin so I played skeeball too. Needless to say I was not as good as she was.

 

Kaitlin loves to hold the chickens. She is so brave

 

I told you she was brave. Here she is with Raven on her shoulder!

 

How cute are we, all in our jammies!

 

I kept laying on Kaitlin on the couch. I thought it was so funny!

All of the candy on the table may be the reason why we stayed up past 1am!

 

 

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... just kidding. I was just trying out the cots

 Look, Daddy is in line buying us breakfast.

 

I never look the right way when Mommy takes pictures.
