Sleep Over

Ryanne and I decided we wanted to be a cooler aunt and uncle. Ryanne came up with the idea of a sleepover with the nieces and nephew (Ryan we wish you guys lived closer so we could do the same with your kids). We finally had an open weekend and went for it. We showed up at about 5:00 on a Friday afternoon. The kids were ready to go. Reagan even went outside to play with some friends because it was taking too long for us to get there (she was ready to go once she got home from kindergarten in the early afternoon). We had not decided on an activity or dinner and left it up to the kids. We told them one got to choose dinner and the other the activity. Cooper said he knew how to pick good food so he called dibs. Between pizza and tacos it was a no brainer, PIZZA! Reagan had more options to choose from, playing at my school, a movie at the dollar theater or Nicklecade. It was a no brainer once again, NICKELCADE! The reason behind it . . . . . video game are the best! We had lots of fun. Cooper went through his the quickest and thought Reagan was being mean for not letting him use her remaining nickels. After our nickels ran out we cashed in our tickets and got prizes (the first picture). We got home and went to bed. I got up early to go swimming and when I got back Ryanne had the kids up, dressed and fed (she is going to make one killer wife). Our fun sleepover concluded with a trip to Cooper's soccer game. We are looking forward to Sleep over part two.
The funniest part of the sleepover was provided by Reagan. As we were getting our pajamas Ryanne grabbed the bag of Reagan's clothes that her mom put together for her. Reagan was going to put on a new pair of underwear. Ryanne told her she should wait till the morning and change her underwear. Reagan told her that she changes her underwear every two days. After asking Melissa about this and having her tell us she puts out a new pair of underwear every morning for her, we no longer worry about her.

The last slice of pizza.

Coopers longerest strand of winning tickets!


Taking a moment from the video games to show how much fun we were having.


Ryanne, step away from the game and let the kids have a turn.



We decided to bask in the glory of our winning tickets. I think Cooper sums up our inner emotions that we just could not express ourselves.
