summer sleepovers

It's summer and the sleepovers are plentiful over here.... 

Sometimes the nights are long but it always ends on a good note which makes me say yes to the next one.

The good note is the morning wake up...sleepy ones....sitting together...remembering the good memories from the night before....all smiles and laughing.....happy.

I am so thankful for summer sleepover memories......

Good times

Tonight we had Julia Rose in the house! It was a sleepover night like so many we have...but this night was special! We had a let it loose dance party!

  man was it fun!

 It just feels good to let it go sometimes...it's just good for the soul, you know!

My boys and their best buddies....

The boys love their best friends...truly love them. Braden and Colin are just like family to all of us. Having them here is easy and fun and when there is something going on the boys want nothing more than to share it with their best friends...and more often than not I make that happen...usually without them even having to ask. Tonight was the 2011 three point and slam dunk contest...which is a big deal to basketball lovers of all ages! They loved watching every second of it...talking excitedly and making predictions...feeling oh so cool since they had played basketball with John Wall and Demarcus Cousins this summer...and seeing them at this event.  They enjoyed watching it so much and it was even better that they all watched it together! This of course led to a sleep over.......more often than not it does! ;)

 In the morning I made them Cinnamon toast and they were so cute sitting at the table talking about every dunk and every player.....

 And they got bonus points because they all said my cinnamon toast was the best cinnamon toast ever.....I am thinking they will be asking for another get together real soon! ;)...such charming boys!
