The Slumber Party that Wasn't

I thought we would be going to Cobe's baseball game tonight and then meeting up with some people for the Tulip Time fireworks, but the storms predicted changed those plans. It stormed mid-afternoon, so the fields were too wet to play and it is storming again now and raining hard, so I guess it is a good thing they postponed the fireworks until tomorrow night. It was a beautiful afternoon though after it stopped raining. Once all of our plans were canceled, the boys both wanted friends to spend the night. So Cobe invited Chase and Brooks invited Evan to come over. All was well until it neared bed time. They had all had so much fun- the big boys hibernated in the basement, and the little ones had been riding bikes outside, then watched a movie upstairs. But then Evan decided he wanted to go home, and Chase decided he wanted to go home as well. Cobe ended up going to Chase's to spend the night instead. No, we aren't mean to the kids when they are here- I promise! :-) They both just got a little homesick.







Sadie had a fun day with Kendall as well. They play very well together. Sadie was worn out tonight after trying to keep up with the diva all day! ;-) Rob said Missy did very well during her surgery. I hope to talk to her tomorrow to hear her say how easy it was so I can have it done!!!!!!!!

Brooks surprised me tonight and showed me that he can indeed ride a 2-wheel bike. This has been a touchy subject because he has never been interested in learning to ride his bike without training wheels. Cobe was 3 when he learned, so I kept pushing Brooks to try. He had absolutely no interest... until.... we went to his bike-a-thon last weekend and Evan was riding a 2-wheeler around like a pro. It must have sparked something in Brooks because he had been practicing all week by himself without even asking us for help. This afternoon, he called me outside, and he took off on his bike. I could not believe it! So he got to show Evan tonight when he got here that he now too can ride a bike! Boy was he proud! He hasn't showed his dad yet, so he is saving that surprise until tomorrow morning.

Cobe has another baseball game tomorrow-don't know yet if the fields will be dry enough to play on. His coach seemed to think that they may still be too wet, so we'll see. I hope he gets to play! We will try to go to the fireworks tomorrow night if the weather cooperates. Tulip Time equals rain every year for some strange reason!!!!! Have a great weekend!
