Hanging out with the cousins

Yesterday we hosted a sleepover with the cousins. I made the kids earn it this time. I told them they would have to prove to me and my dh that they were worthy of one. This meant no fighting and they would have to help with things around the house. And … they would have to convince their father. They did surprisingly well.
We ended up going to a baseball game and then drove back home for the sleepover. After watching a little of the Olympics and a few episodes from our Tom and Jerry DVD, the kids got ready for bed. It took a while for all of them to settle down but I do believe they were tired!
It is good to have new energy in the house, to hear the cousins exchanging stories and laughing, and to see all the smiles on the kids’ faces. It is a always a good thing when the cousins get together. I am thankful that the kids play so well together and have a ton of fun.
