We spent the better part of this past weekend with four little boys: Danny, Sean, Evan and Logan. Just before Christmas, I read an article about giving kids experiences instead of gifts. I think it is a great idea and decided it would be fun to have Danny and Sean come sleepover at our house (without Uncle Dan and Auntie Karin so they could have a little couples time). Well this was the weekend.
We picked them up at 10 am on Saturday, brought them back to Millbury, went to Applebee's for lunch and then the older boys (everyone except Logan) went to see the Lego movie. When they got back we started on some projects...Danny's favorite thing. We made Olympic medals and started Olympic ring glasses (thanks for the idea, Kodi). After dinner, the boys played for a while and then settled down watching Phineas and Ferb before heading to bed. We put them to bed (Evan, Sean and Danny all in Evan's room) at 8:33 and they were quiet by about 9:15.
Sunday got started a bit earlier than we are used to as the three older boys were up at 6:30. Uncle Bruce made homemade waffles for breakfast and then got busy moving snow and building a snow fort/igloo. The boys played nicely together with Danny and Evan doing more projects/coloring on and off all morning and Logan and Sean spending lots of time together. After lunch the boys went out to play in the snow fort and go sledding. It was such a fun weekend for everyone, especially the boys. Logan loved playing with the big kids and trying to keep up. We should definitely do this more often! In fact, Friday night Uncle Dan and Auntie Karin are going to return the favor so that Bruce and I get a night off. These boys are so lucky to have each other!
