Play day
The sleep over was a blast for the kids, not so good for grandma. They were all tired but they were wound up at the same time. My grandson used to be at my house more often than he has been as of late. They played outside up until it was dark outside, fresh air makes sleepy kids usually. I made supper early, gave them a bath, and that only added to the excitement. When I finally convinced them to get out of the tub and got them ready for bed they were as energized as if they had just stepped out of bed in the morning. I tucked them in turned out the light about ten times, the youngest went to sleep first, then the other two were still playing and turning the lights on, so I kept turning them off and telling them that tomorrow was another day. Next my grandson went to sleep and that left one to go. She came out of the room and wanted to color, so I let her stay in my room and color for a little so she would not throw a fit and wake the other two. I finally tucked her in for the last time.
They woke up in a good mood, thank goodness. We dressed and headed for the kitchen. I cleaned up when they were finished eating and they headed outside to play. We had a fairly good day and not too many altercations over toys. We took a walk early in the afternoon and late afternoon my daughter-in-law came and picked up my grandson. By this time they were all tired out and upset because they did not want their cousin to leave. We walked them to the car and when we came back into the house the crying started again because they were tired out.
I hurried up and fixed a quick supper because I figured if they went to sleep that they would be out for the night. They acted as though they were not going to be able to keep their eyes open until the food was cooking. They ate and to my surprise managed to stay up until about 9:30 pm. I swear they are the energizer bunnies.
We will see what tomorrow brings every day turns out to be an adventure.
