A Day in the Life of Josh & Awburn

The Boys Sleepover

Josh's little brothers were due for their sleepover. His dad was called to New York for a work meeting while his mom was out of town for spring break so we had them for 2 nights and considered it their sleepover. It was way different than Grace's. After having boys and girls in the house I'm not sure which one is easier?!?! This is how theirs went...

Monday: Picked them up from their baseball games. I watched Masons while Josh's dad was at Jake's. On our way home we talked about baseball the whole way. We got home and had sandwiches for dinner. The boys took showers. We watched some TV and it was bed time.

Tuesday: Woke up at 6:30am with Mason. He was ready to go for the day. Mason let Jake sleep in until 8am. Meanwhile, Mason helped me get our eggs loaded for our egging that we were planning to do. For breakfast, Mason discovered he like english muffins. He ate 2. Jake was so tired and mad the he got woke up so early he wasn't hungry. We decided to get dressed and head out for the day. Bank first and then egging we went. We went to my moms house and we put the eggs all over the yard. Jake ran the door bell and we ran behind the truck. The daycare kids were so excited. They didn't even notice me taking pictures behind the truck. We had sonic for lunch that day. The next on the agenda was to go see Diary of a Wimpy Kid. We ran to the grocery store first for snacks and then to the movies we went. We bought tickets at the kiosk and there was no one ripping the tickets before you go in. My thought was I shouldn't have bought tickets but figured I just got lucky walking in. When I came out...there was still no one there. The movie was ok. The boys liked it. That night I had a client and Josh wasn't going to be home for a little while so I put in a movie. Jake fell asleep but Mason wasn't having it. He went out side watered the plants, played his DS, called Josh to see when he was coming home, watched some of the movie, and kept sample testing my home made fried rice. The boys ate dinner, orange chicken and fried rice, while I finished up with my client. After we all sat down and watched American Idol. During commercials all of the boys wrestled, had hand standing contests, had pillow fights, and be being the only girl in the house I just watched. The boys took showers and it was time for bed.

Wednesday: I had to leave at 3am in the morning to take my friend for an out patient surgery. Josh had jury duty this day so it was perfect. I got home a little before he had to leave. I wasn't sure what to do with the boys today. We were going to go the park with their cousins but it was too windy. Aunt Jamie came up with the idea to go bowling. We finally got Jake up at 10:30am to get ready. We met at Taco Bell for lunch and then went bowling. We had fun!! Jamie beat us all!! Even those with the bumpers. We came home for a little bit before we had to get ready for Jake's game and were leaving early to meet Josh at Applebee's for dinner. That was the restaurant of their choice. On our way, we found out his game was at 5:30 not 7:30 so the plans changed fast! Jake was going to the game, Mason didn't have a jacket so him and I would still meet Josh for dinner and my dad would bring Jake to Josh's parents house after the game. After dinner, we went to Josh's parents with ribs in hand for Jake when he got home. I felt so bad for not going to his game but it was crazy windy and cold out there. Dave, Josh's dad, came home and we traded off. Josh and I went home.

I had fun. It was the only time in my whole life that I was around just boys for that long. I grew up with all sisters. Boys are way messier than girls but can be entertained easily with video games. We want to have each boy back for their own sleepover eventually but this one will do for now!
