Cookies and Friends

The kids got to have their friends over for a sleep over this past weekend. We took our friends kids so that they could enjoy an evening to themselves. Here they all are, lined up watching a movie on the floor. They were so great, except when it was time to go to bed. We found the girls quietly playing in Kenna's room with the light on. When I opened the door, Kenna hurried as fast as she could to hide under her bed! And then the boys couldn't seem to keep quiet. They were up talking and laughing and having a great time. There certainly wasn't much sleep going on and the results of this were evident the next day! Last week, Bryson had a friend over, Calvin, and we decided to make some Halloween sugar cookies. Each child put on an apron, had their own rolling pin and went straight to work. They had a great time making a mess with the flour and dough. They also enjoyed cutting out their own shapes. Bryson wouldn't stop eating his dough!

Bryson's masterpiece! Kenna's masterpiece!
