Pajama Party

I should've taken a picture with kids in it so you could see it better, but it was cool!

The boys' pajama party

Last Thursday, Dylan had snowman day at preschool.  They were out playing in the snow and it was a nice day so we decided to continue the fun at home.  Dylan wanted a snow fort so we set out to build one.  Preston was shoveling water from the gutter that was trapped between the two massive piles of snow, but was easy to keep an eye on.  Needless to say, I was sweating and the kids were soaking wet with dirty slush and water by the time we were finished with our outdoor fun.  I stripped them both down and headed up for a bath before dinner.  I knew Dylan would fight me on pajamas at 5:00, but I didn't want to go through another outfit so I came up with an excuse for early pajamas - a pajama party.  I had a stake Relief Society dinner and fireside so it was perfect for the boys at home.  We made pancakes and eggs and Dylan had Marcos get changed into pajamas when he got home from work.  Dylan LOVED it and thought it was a planned party.  Brilliant!  Marcos said they had so much fun playing together that evening.  It's amazing how cheap a fun family activity can be if you use your head a bit.  We usually don't and end up spending money on something stupid, but this time we were smart about it.  So if you ever have soaking wet kids that need a bath WAY before bedtime, just have a pretend pajama party that evening and they'll think life is great.  :)
