Family Slumber Party

Last night I was supposed to watch another little boy for my friend who just had a baby, and Christian was going to help some older ladies move. As the evening approached, both service opportunities were canceled and we suddenly found ourselves with a completely open evening. So we had a family slumber party.

We rented "Meet the Robinsons" and started the evening eating pizza while watching the movie. We have only tried eating in our family room one other time with Daniel. We had pizza that time too, but Daniel stepped in the pizza in an attempt to escape from our friend Brent who was chasing him. This time, the pizza in the living room was much more successful.

Then we moved on to the popcorn and Twizzlers.

After the movie, we got out the blow up mattress and all the pillows and blankets we had for our slumber party. A pillow fight broke out.

After the wrestling, we built a tent to sleep in.

And finished off the evening with a story in the tent.

None of us ended up sleeping the night in the tent. We went back to our comfortable beds. There was no way we were going to be able to calm Daniel down enough in the tent to fall asleep. I think we made the most wonderful evening for a two year old boy. He was so excited about everything. In return, a fun evening for your child makes a wonderful evening for the parents.
