The "Late-Over"

All of Jack Jack's dreams came true last Friday night when we had a "late-over" (rather than a "sleep-over") with a few of his friends and cousins. It was a lot of fun with the boys. Daniel had the perfect evening planned out with a few of Jackson's favorite things. Here is the run down...

First, a group photo to start the evening.

Rye, Jack, Jett, Rett, Duce and Austin

 Getting their fishing poles ready for some fishing around the pond.

 Daniel later told me he could have used 2 more adults with him out there fishing... it was a lot of work. But almost every one of them caught a fish... including Jack... all by himself!

 Pizza for dinner!

 Archery shooting (plastic bottles on the back of Daniel's truck)

 A little game of wiffle ball and a home run derby.

Little bit of a dance party. It got a little out of hand and Ivy was mesmerized the whole time.

 Ice cream sandwiches.Yum.

 At one point Jack asked me when the sleep over was going to start and I said, "Buddy, this is the sleep over!" and he replied, "No mom! What about all the pillows and blankets in the family room?" We quickly got out all the pillows and blankets and put in Ice Age. It was fun listening to the boys giggle at the movie.

I tell ya, the "late-over" is the way to go! After the movie (around 10:00) the boys went home! Jack Jack fell asleep quickly in his own bed, we didn't have to worry about the boys during the night and no responsibilities in the morning! It was definitely the way to go (at least with a 3 year old!) 

How lucky we are for good friends and family that Jack Jack adores!
