He's 8!!!


T came over for his B-Day Sleepover on Wed. night! He wanted to camp in the yard so Mike set the tent up while we went over and played at the school playground...Then we went and got Carter's haircut before going out to eat at Pizza Hut...T's choice!

Mike and Carter invented a new game: "Straw WARS"...

Then after a trip to ToysRus and ice cream at home I bathed the littles while Uncle Mike and T played with his new superhero figurines...

Then M, T, and I got settled out in the tent and Mike went back in to listen for Carter and answer my texts..."So and so is coming in to potty...what on earth is outside the tent!?!? At 11pm?!?!, etc..." It was Maggie scaling the tent trying to get inside!

T went inside after a while bc he couldn't fall asleep, but M and I stayed out for the night...lots of noises out there...not so nature-y...ac unit on and off, cars and trucks on the interstate nearby, people weed whacking at 10 pm (?!?!)...but still so fun to be outside on a "camp out"! Mags scaled the tent at 4am again and woke up M that time...but I wasn't startled bc I knew what it was that time and so we let her in and after chatting with M for a little while we settled in with Mags to sleep until the sun came up... :)

Goofy cousins before bedtime stories!

In the morning Mike got back to playing figurines with the kids...

And after breakfast we went back outside to play in the tent...

And Carter got to join in on the fun! Happy Bday T! Can't believe you are 8!!!!! :)
