1st Sleepover

Wyatt is having his first sleepover this weekend. He is visiting Grandma and Grandpa in Michigan until Monday. I drove the kids this morning and met my Dad half way between our two houses (which turned out to be about 2 hours). We met at a DQ for lunch and then Grandpa and Wyatt left for Grandpa's house and I drove the other three boys back home with me.

It was such a nice drive both ways. On the way there the boys were so excited to be seeing Grandpa that they sang and laughed the whole time. I brought my ipod and listened to my own music. I can not even begin to say how wonderful it is to listen to my own music while feeling the nice warm sun beat down on me and know that spring is just around the corner! The drive was so therapeutic for me. I get time with my own thoughts while seeing signs of spring everywhere with 4 smiling happy faces beamed in my rear view mirror. It was a re-birth of sorts. I LOVE this time of year. I thanked God for giving me such blessings.

We got home and my three little guys and I spent the next 4 hours playing outside. But not before I forced Sam and Jonah to pose for some very-late-official-4-year-old-photos. (click on photo to enlarge)The boys were filthy by the time that John got home from work, but they enjoyed themselves. Now they are upstairs "trying" to sleep in Wyatt's bed. We will see how long that lasts! We are all sure hoping that Wyatt and Grandma and Grandpa have a good time together so that they will be open to entertaining a couple of other boys in a few more weeks after they have had time to rest up!
