cousin sleep over

Brent had his last round of radiation on Monday and could not eat on Fathers Day, so we celebrated it a day early. While we were down in Elk Ridge Eleanor and Quinn had a great time playing together. They pulled out lots of books in Grandma's library and enjoyed running around together. When it was time to leave, Eleanor told us she didn't want to leave and wanted to play with Quinn some more. It was pretty cute watching the two of them play together so we asked Lana and John if Quinn just come and sleep over at our house. I wasn't sure if Lana would agree, being that this would be Quinn's first sleep over. But Lana agreed to send him with us and we also had Zack come over as well. On the way home all three kids were so hyper and could not keep quite! John stopped and got them ice cream sandwiches. We had to make a few stops before we got home and when we finally got to our house Quinn told us it was taking FOREVER!

The kids had a blast. They ran around inside for a few hours until the rain let up and then they played outside until it got dark. Eleanor and Quinn had a bath and Eleanor couldn't stop dumping cups of water on Quinn's head. Good thing he has a little sister and is used to being pestered! After the bath we fed them and then let them choose a movie to watch. Eleanor was out within a half hour. Quinn and Zack finished the movie but did not fall asleep. I turned on cartoons and finally Zack fell asleep around 12 or so, but not Quinn. He was so funny! He was glued to the TV and did not fall sleep until past 1!! When he woke up he told me, "I didn't close my eyes all night!".

We had Jay, Scott, Lana and John over for dinner when they came to pick up the kids. It was nice outside so we ate on the porch and enjoyed a perfect summer evening. Lana and John stayed a while so John and I showed them all of our pictures from our trip.

I'm so glad Eleanor has so many cousins and that she enjoys playing with them. John and I figured that she has 7 cousins (on both sides) within 2 years of each other. She's lucky!
