This weekend we expanded our household from two boys to FOUR boys!! Eli and Cole had their friends Matthew and Jack (same ages and brother!) over for a sleepover. It was part of a well-thought out plan to see how sleepovers with brothers would work so that we could swap kids from time to time and get a break. Great idea huh? It also helped that the boys have known each other and been friends since they were just a few months old.
So yesterday afternoon, Matthew & Jack's parents dropped them off for what we hoped would be a great sleepover. And it totally was!! Saturday afternoon, the boys played soccer in the back yard and rode bikes in the front. Pizza for dinner and lots of fun playing until they finally fell asleep.
Sunday morning, I was going to make them muffins for breakfast and Jack informed me that he wanted chocolate muffins with chocolate chips. I'm not one to disappoint so a recipe was found and muffins were made! I must admit, he made a good call because they were yummy!! We then managed to get everyone dressed and to church on time. I was Cole and Jack's teacher so we had to be there a little early. Everyone was so well behaved and we had a great time together.
It was amazing after Matthew & Jack left how quiet it sounded to only have two boys in the house. We really enjoyed their visit and look forward to more sleep overs - here AND there!!
Eli and Matthew had fun playing soccer
They took turns at goalie
It's amazing how "in to" sports they've become
Such big boys!
Pizza dinner - nice and civilized at the table
Post dinner bike riding
Buds!
Cole and Jack preferred to have their own variety of wheeled races - here it was dump truck versus scooter.
It was all fun and games until Cole's gear blew out - faking a crash. =)
Somehow the little boys got scratched up....thank goodness for Neosporin wound wash
Making up elaborate secret handshakes....oh the silly boys!
Big boys sleeping!
Little boys sleeping - SUCCESS!!
Chocolate muffins for breakfast (not quite as bad as doughnuts!)
Love this picture from church. Such great fun with friends!
