And they even had time to swim. 
When it was finally time for bed, both boys had to grab their blankies and lovies. 
When I got up in the middle of the night to feed Kaitlynn, the boys were passed out! I thought it was so funny that they even slept in similar positions.
Here's one quick story from the sleepover that I wanted to share.
When the boys went outside to swim, we had a surprise test of their swimming skills. For those of you that have seen my previous post about Connor and Benjamin's recent swimming lessons, you'll recall that they both were taught to float on their backs if/when they fell in the water. On Saturday morning, the boys were playing on the steps of our pool like in the picture here:
As Benjamin stood on the step, Jeff gave him a boogie board to see if he would like to use it to float around the pool. Benjamin dived off the step to get on the board, but as he dove he missed the board and fell into the water over his head. Jeff and I both immediately jumped up to go rescue him, but before we could even reach him Benjamin had popped up on his back and was floating face up! He definitely had a look of panic on his face, but he was floating safely and continued to do so until Jeff pulled him back to the steps. What an incredible feeling of assurance that the floating technique works and the swim lessons paid off! Great job, Benjamin!!
Wow- what a blessing that Benjamin did just the right thing! You guys were so smart to put Connor in those type of lessons, what a life saver!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute that Connor had his first sleepover- that is a sign of a big boy! I love that he has a little best friend already and has for some time now! That is great. And kuddos to you and Jeff for taking on another kiddo in the house!! haha
Oh, my gosh! A sleepover! Conner is growing up so fast... they all do/you all do! I still remember all you girls being children... seems like only yesterday... Now, you are all busy being such great moms. It has been such an honor to watch you all grow up and become such fine young women.
ReplyDeleteYea! for successful swim lessons!
what did you do feed them sugar, then put them to bed, LOL I was laughing so hard watching them when they were suppose to be settling down....hahaha
ReplyDeleteGreat job by Benjamin popping up and floating on his back. Both my sons took swimming lessons, and are little fish in the water now...they love it!
I remember the days of sleepovers. How fun! You are so brave to take that on right now! Or did it help to have the boys entertain themselves? That's so great that Benjamin was able to put his newly acquired swim skills into practice when it was really needed! I know this must give you guys even more peace of mind! Hugs to C and K from their Aunt Amanda!
ReplyDeleteOMG! The first sleepover. That's a huge first. How fun for the boys. I can't believe he's big enough for that. Time is flying by much too fast. Love the video of the boys jumping on the bed. Too cute.
