First Spend the Night Party

Earlier this month, the boys went to their first spend the night party. It was Logan's birthday and he decided to have a spend the night party. I told Ben that he could come home at any time if he didn't want to spend the whole night. But he stayed and hung out with the big kids. Darby set up fun stations in the basement for them-- a wii station, a golf station, a tv/movie stattion and (Ben's favorite) a food station. At the beginning of the party Ben came upstairs and asked if he could have a cupcake from the food station. Darby told him that the food was for the party and that he didn't have to ask, he could have whatever he wanted. When she went down to check on him, he gave her a huge grin and said that he had 10 mini cupcakes! Sadly, during the party one of their fish died so the kids had a fish funeral. As you can tell from the picture the kids are really torn up about it. ;) They ended up staying up until midnight. Thankfully they both napped the next day. I didn't like the empty house, but it was nice to know they were next door. While they were gone Nate took Caroline and I out for sushi. It is so much easier to go out to eat with one versus three!
