Sprinklers and Slumber Parties

While Aunt Kellie was in Phoenix with Uncle Mason shopping for a new home we had the pleasure of keeping Connor and Carson for a sleep over. Hayden was so excited as we had been telling him that Connor and Carson were coming over. Hayden loves his only older and male counterparts. They played outside in the Elmo sprinkler and then with the water table. Later all the boys changed into their jammies and Hayden got to join them to watch 5 minutes of his first real movie... Ice Age. He thought he was a BIG shot. After 5 minutes Hayden headed to bed and Connor and Carson got to stay up for another hour and then off to bed they went. Carson was excited to be sleeping in the transformer bed (pull out sofa). He was so excited and was telling me about how he had seen one before in Florida. Connor slept on the sofa and wanted his "own space". The next morning Connor was up first at 7:30 followed by Hayden who was yelling "Connor, Carson" from his bed. I attempted to cook pancakes after Connor feed and let out Linus only to take him downstairs to wake up Carson who was still sleeping. After breakfast we had planned on a trip to the zoo but mother nature didn't cooperate so we all played downstairs and then headed to McDonald's in the midst of a monsoon. The three boys thought this was so much fun as we made a bee line in the pouring rain. Hayden had to sit in the booth right between Connor and Carson and wanted Connor to feed him his lunch. We all had dessert then headed home for some charades. Later that afternoon Aunt Jilly picked up the boys and Hayden was sad to see them go. For days after he kept asking for Connor and Carson and when I would tell him that they were at home he would say "see 'em" He sure is going to miss them when they move to Phoenix. In fact we all are!
