The first sleep over...the first of many I hope! Sawyer has only had sleepovers at Nana & Papa's house so far. No friend sleepovers yet. So we decided to get his feet wet a bit by having a friend over here first! His little buddy Dane was no surprise, his first choice!
So, last Saturday evening Dane arrived with sleeping bag in hand and ready for their first sleepover! I knew that they would have such a blast together before it was actually time to go to bed, but I had a little feeling that we would be making a 2 a.m. drive over to Dane's house....anyway, they started off by playing the Wii and bossing each other all the way through the levels.
We had pizza for dinner (Sawyer's request) and then the boys sat down to watch 'The Avengers' with Bill. And what movie is complete without snacks? Instead of popcorn, they opted for spicy Cheetos and chocolate chip cookies...and then lots of cups of water because their mouths were burning! lol
After the movie, they headed down stairs to 'set up camp'. They wanted to pretend they were camping. Sawyer decided to pack a backpack just like Dane had brought over and they got all situated on the floor. They played games, read books, ran around with nerf guns and just did boy stuff!
After turning off the lights and saying goodnight, there was lots of giggling and whispering. Signs of a good sleepover. And wonder of wonders, they slept all the way through the night! Normally I have to peel Sawyer out of bed at 7:20 a.m. for school in the mornings, but wouldn't you know, that 6:30 a.m. rolls around and they are both up and at em!
(So much for sleeping in a bit before church!)
Sawyer was super excited to take Dane to church with us in the morning and show him around.
I would say it was a successful first sleepover for them both!
