A few weeks ago, on a beautiful weekend in March, we FINALLY got to have the highly anticipated sleepover with cousin Ben at our new house! The kids had a blast and we got a small dose of what it could be like to have 3 kids (except that this was three kids aged 2, 3, and 4!) It was so much fun and also quite exhausting!
Our first stop was the Lehigh Valley Science Festival held at the Coca-Cola Park. The kids did various simple experiments, crafts, etc. But I think their favorite part was getting tattooed (boys chose glittery super hero tattoos for their arms) and face painted (Avery got a beautiful butterfly painted on her face - this was the first time I gave in to allowing face painting. It helped that it was free!)
Grayson *loved* having his big cousin Ben around and our affectionate little boy was not afraid to show it with plenty of hugs and kisses. Ben, however, was not always a fan of these!
Of course, we had a visit from Aunt RaRa to get the kids all riled up before naps (but amazingly, they did ALL nap!) Ben, of course, was the first one down.
It was a great day for the park....
Followed by dinner and ice cream....
Sitting between these boys kept me busy!
While Daddy got to relax sitting next to this delicate butterfly...
Bath time for three in the "big" tub was a special treat!
Then the kids got to introduce Ben to their current favorite movie "Frozen."
(clearly, this was a very serious moment in the movie!)
Best buds for life!
Lots of laughs were shared! We all had a really fun weekend!
Hope that we can keep these cousin sleepovers up!
By the way, our house guest was a perfect, sleepy angel while he was here. He didn't even mind that Grayson continued to talk, play and sometimes whine until almost 11 pm that night while they shared space on the floor. Ben was the first one asleep and the last one to wake! He is awesome!
p.s. Can you spot two boys in this mess?
