The Big Sleepover

f

We had the privilege of having Ave and Johnny with us from Thursday through Sunday afternoon, while John and Genia were away with Owen.

With four kids under foot, Stace was even more miserable than usual.
Just kidding, of course. He and I both loved having these particular children with us. We would have kept them, but they seemed really excited to see their own parents on Sunday.

 The children all got along so well; we had lots of laughter and fun together.

We walked to school Thursday and Friday, and on Friday afternoon we played at the pool after lunch. Our school has minimum days every Friday, so Ave was also home for lunch.

On Thursday night, Cora and Ave put on a dance show for us all, complete with snacks for the audience. 











And Friday night, Stace played the music for the dance party.

On Thursday night, the school night, Ave and Johnny slept on the floor of Violet's room, and Violet stayed in the playpen in our room.
Friday and Saturday nights, Ave slept on Cora's trundle.

Cora was excited about this weekend for the past several weeks, as you can imagine. She asked all the time when "The Big Sleepover" was going to take place.
