My father-in-law had surgery this week so my husband flew to N.C. to be with him. While he was gone...I was keeping 3 acTivE kids busy. At night, they asked if they could have a sleepover. Which was fine for me b/c I am a scaredy cat so I didn't mind at all sleeping in the family room together.
Just pull out a few sleeping bags and pillows...put on some {classic} cartoons and it's almost better than {Disney}-well, not really but for this night it was!
It was 12:45am and I pulled out a little cookie dough in the frig. This is what happens when you have NO snacky food! 
My son's food {radar} was on high alert so we had some together in the kitchen~ We both felt so {sneaky}!
{Little "Missy" always seems to get the couch!}
Of all the things we do...this is what they will remember...I am sure of it!

How fun.
Hope the FIL is doing ok.
What part of NC is he in? We're from Rocky Mount.
What do you mean NO snacky food? Cookie dough IS snacky food! :-) I can't keep the pre-made dough cut into little squares otherwise they never make it to the oven! And I'm sure the kids will remember these times the most. Looks like you had fun! And I couldn't agree more about the classic cartoons...I miss Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd and Daffy Duck!
Hope your FIL mends quickly!
I love family room sleepovers...but I definitely sneak to my own bed to go to sleep!
Sandy, that looks like fun. :-)
I hope your FIL is better with each passing day.
Thinking of you...
XO,
Sheila :-)
May we all! Love your header..., just thought I say hello.
Oh, the REAL stuff life is made of...the fun and goofy things we do within the four walls of our very own homes. This looks like a night in heaven. Brings back lots of precious memories! Great work Mom!
I hope your FIL is doing well after surgery!
Ummm! Nothing as yummy as cookie dough! Hope your FIL is recovering. Thanks for visiting my blog!
You are right, they will remember it! We do it too! I mainly do late night snacking EVERY NIGHT! I know the feeling :)
They are going to have a list a mile long of the wonderful things their mama did with them!
I hope your FIL is doing better after his surgery. Looks like a GREAT time. Mmmmmm cookie dough is the BEST snacky food!!!
This is exactly what they remember. I hope your FIL is ok...
Suz!!
Fun, fun!!! I miss those times. I am a scaredy cat too, but I try to put a brave face on for Phillip. Phillip and Brett are on a roadtrip now and I am here in the old bungalow. I am going to stay with friends for a couple of days.
Hope your FIL's surgery went well.
I love this post! I am a scaredy cat too. I even leave lights on all night when the hubs is gone! Bring on the cookie dough too! What a fun night!
That sounds like so much fun! I am sure that they will always remember that! I hope your FIL is doing well.
So much fun! Especially the cookie dough part...
I love the idea of having a sleepover like this. Can't wait for my kiddos to be old enough! :)
