The BIG Sleepover!

Before we get to the big sleepover, the prior week was the annual Tucker Days with a parade down Main Street. The kids love to go watch the parade and chase down all the candy from the floats.

Later in the day, Jackson and Catie decided to break out the Halloween costumes and play superheroes. Abby felt strongly that the Cat in the Hat qualified as a superhero... who are we to argue.

Jackson's last day of 2nd grade was Friday, and we took our annual picture in front of the house to compare with the one we always take on the first day. Unfortunately, we can't find the first day of school picture??? To celebrate the end of the school year, we agreed to have a sleepover for two of Jackson's friends and Catie's friend Bella. It was quite a night!

The boys had a great time playing the Wii and PS3 before settling in for a Lego movie.

As usual, we put food out for the animals and they showed up at their normal 8:30pm time. The kids were excited to see a giant raccoon and opossum, side by side, eating our leftovers. Several hours later and countless trips upstairs to settle them down, everyone finally fell asleep around 11:30pm.

Of course, the natives were up and ready to play at 6am. Stiv treated them to delicious warm cinnamon rolls for breakfast.

The sleepover finished up with a good run through the sprinkler as the temp rose quickly and everyone was ready to cool off. By this time, Catie's friend Bella had gone home, so we imported another friend (Issac) to fill in.

Shake your booty!
