Well, it was another crazy weekend for us. Friday my cousin Blake (Chance's brother) came in town for a visit. They came over to our house on Friday and we visited for a while. They went back over to my parent's house and stayed there that night. Saturday afternoon they came back over and we hung out. About 4:00 that afternoon we got a call from Jonny (Tyler's brother) and said that his kids were sleeping at Grandma Carver's house and wanted our kids to join them. This is where the major milestone comes in. The only house other then our own that my kids have slept is at my parents. I have never let them go anywhere else without us, other then to a friends house for a couple of hours. At first Britton wasn't so sure he wanted to do it and Shayna was crying because she thought she wasn't going to get to do it. She wanted to go so bad. Tyler's sister Mary and her husband were going up to Grandma Carver's house to stay the night as well so they said they would pick the kids up and take them and bring them back the next day. This was also making me nervous because my kids have never been in a car with anyone other then us and my parents, I know, they are sheltered but I can't help it. Anyway, when they found out that Bruce and Mary were going to be there they were begging to go. So we got them packed up and they were on their way. Bruce and Mary were great, they texted us when they got to Grandma Carvers, they texted us pictures of the kids playing and they let us know when the kids fell asleep. They were so good about keeping in touch with us, it made me feel alot better. I couldn't believe I let them go but I'm glad I did. They had so much fun and didn't want to come home the next day. Anyway since we had a babysitter for the night we went out with Chance and Blake and met Jonny and some of his friends at Port-O-Call. We left there shortly after 1:00am and stopped at Denny's on the way home. We finally got home around 3:00am and went straight to bed. It's always very entertaining hanging out with Chance and with Blake there it made it that much more fun. It was a good night and I'm glad to know that my kids can survive a night without us. Thanks Grandma Carver for letting the kids stay and Thanks Bruce and Mary for taking such good care of them!

you are brave, my kids hate spending the night at other friends houses so I'm lucky cuz I would have to tell them no anyway. How old are you anyway going to Port-o-call, just kidding I'm glad you had a good time. I have never been.
Well, its about time! Just kidding! My kids have only spend the night at their grandmas & grandpas, and my sister or brothers house. It is nice to have a night out though, right?! I am glad you had fun.
