Cousins are so special

My niece and nephew, Mary and Ethan, spent a couple days with us last week before their big move out East.  It was so nice for the 4 cousins to have some playtime together plus a sleepover.  We will see them again at Christmas, but till then the kids will be e-mailing each other back and forth.  Adam and Ethan had so many things they wanted to do together that they made a to do list for the 2 days.  It was so sweet!!  They were actually going back and checking off what they did afterwards!

As I mentioned they had a sleepover.  We let Ethan and Adam sleep downstairs on the pull out.  This was a very special treat and they were soo excited!  They did great and even went to sleep in a reasonable amount of time.  Mary slept in Noelle's room on the trundle.  Noelle insisted on sleeping on the trundle with Mary and since Mary said that was fine we tried it.  Mary seemed to want to go to sleep but Noelle had other ideas.  She kept playing, being loud, and when Mary fell asleep, hitting Mary on the face.  She woke up Mary so I let Mary go sleep in Adam's loft bed, which was a special treat for her!  Everyone had so much fun and they were all pretty well behaved.  I'm so glad they had that special time together!!
