The Big Sleepover

Last month when Mark was in Argentina the Leach family decided they wanted to have a PB&J sleepover. I jumped at the offer since it would give me a quiet house all to myself and take up some time I had to fill with the boys while Mark was away. The packing list included a pack n play (they already have one on hand at their house), a bumbo chair, booster chair, 4 bottles, baby food for J for 3 meals, solids for Parker for 3 meals, milk, formula, 2 sets of p.j.s, clothes for each child along with an extra set just in case, extra bibs and burp cloths for J, Parker's push toy, a jumparoo, blankets and other items from their crib at home, books, sippy cups, baby shampoo in case of a bath which Parker had two, Jonathan's inhaler along with other medicine just in case, extra pacifiers, diapers, wipes, and a stroller. It was a lot to pack but well worth the time and effort!!! The boys LOVE being at their house which was nice because I did not spend a lot of my time worrying. My biggest concern was if Jonathan would sleep through the night-which he did for the most part. Cindy's sister also was on hand to assist so all in all there were 5 adults to 2 babies, a pretty good ratio I must say! I assume all went well because the adults were happy when I picked up the boys and even offered to do it again for LONGER ( and no I am not making that part up). The problem came when I got the boys home. They were not so happy to leave all the one on one attention they get! I am so thankful for such sweet friends who love on my boys as if they are their own. We are so blessed!

I tried to get a picture of all the stuff, although I think there was more since I barely had room for the boys in my car after loading everything!

The girls took the boys to the park near their house and took some pics for me.
