This weekend Allison and Stephanie came down to visit. Chloe and Allie were excited to have a sleepover on Friday night. Actually, Josiah was EQUALLY excited about it (if not more…). So, when they wouldn’t settle down after an hour and a half of laughing and jumping, and I had to move Josiah out of the room, he was devastated. There were so many tears. He sobbed at me, in his tired/delirious state: “I love Allie so much! Can she live with us?”
On Saturday morning Jennifer stopped by and picked up Allie. They went to a waterpark nearby as her gift for her Birthday and Stephanie stayed and hung out here. We watched a movie in the afternoon and pretty much relaxed the whole day. Then Jennifer and Allie came back and we had supper together and heard all about their fun adventures from the day. (Chloe and Josiah were delighted to have Allie back to play with again) The weather was a bit foreboding so Stephanie decided that it would be better to stay the night again–which THRILLED the kids. They made a fort and watched a movie in it then made their way to bed. They had a hard time calming down again, but it was significantly shorter than the night before. (And Josiah was allowed to stay in the room this time.)
It was so much fun listening to the girls giggling and whispering as they were falling asleep. It brought back so many memories of sleepovers from my childhood. I’m glad they are creating memories for themselves…
All in all, it was a great weekend.
Poor Josiah. Glad to hear they all got along so nicely.
Allison looked tired Sunday afternoon when I saw her and Stephanie. Sooo much excitement.
