Two Sleepovers and some bad words!

So, Lincoln ended up having two sleep overs in a row! Christine and her kids came over and then Lincoln asked Myles to spend the night, but Myles didn't want too, so Grace said she wanted to. I don't have any pictures of that sleep over because really, by the time Christine left it was late so I let them jump on the trampoline in the dark for a few minutes and then it was off to bed with both of them.

A funny thing happened the following day though. They had finished breakfast and I was going to head off for a shower, BUT I didn't want to get out and find that they had taken out every toy on the shelf and made a big mess, so our conversation went like this:

Me: "Okay Lincoln and Grace, I'm going to go and have a shower. "

Lincoln: "YAY! Grace, do you want to have a shower with my Mom?"

I explained that neither of them were going to have a shower with me, thank you very much!!

Around two, Grace decided that she wanted to go home, so I drove her home and dropped her off. On the way there, Lincoln asked if Myles could come for a playdate now?

I told him I would ask Myles and we'd see about it. Myles did indeed want to come over so I exchange kids and we were off again. On the way home, we stopped at a school playground and field to let them play and run around.

They climbed on this big spider web thing...

The rock wall... pleased with himself that he made it up there...

This, he informed me is how you 'row' your surfboard out to the big waves...

One footed surfing... so talented - he gets that from me.

Shaking on the surfboard...

Running along this wobbly snake thing...

Another proud face at the top of the rock climbing wall.

Lincoln and Myles wandering into the bush...

In case you can't tell what they are doing in this pose...

note they are both dealing with their shorts....

and I leave that for you to figure out.

One more clue to why they went into the bushes...

Running around in the field...

Playing tag...

Taking a break...

Buddies...when they were younger, Myles was constantly hitting Lincoln, or pulling his hair or knocking him down... I have to say, I never thought I'd be taking a picture where they were hugging. They've outgrown the 'beating' phase and play quite well these days.

Making a 'grass angel'...

While at the field, he fell somehow and hurt his foot.

The two of them checking the injury... GOOD NEWS! It didn't have to be amputated.

I'm OKAY!

Making shadows on the field...

More shadows, this time yelling "Yippee!" on the concrete area.

Making airplane wing shadows.

If you look really close at Lincoln's, you can see his little devil horns!

Making his shadow do karate kicks.

HI-YAH!!

Running the numbers with his shadow.

His shadow on the monkey bars...

Another shadow on the monkey bars - this time with part of my head and the camera in the photo.

Peeking from between the monkey bars...

I couldn't decide which picture I liked best of him peeking down from the monkey bars...

So, I put them both on here!

The ride to Save on Foods...

While we were at the park, Myles came over and told me that he was going to sleep at Lincoln's house tonight. Didn't ask, just told me the he was going to sleep over. I asked him who said he could and he said his mom did. (She didn't - but oh well.) He then proceded to tell me that he was also going to eat supper at our house and that they were going to have hot dogs and french fries.

So, with the new plan, after the park, we stopped at Save on Foods to buy hot-dogs and french fries. While we were there, Lincoln mentioned the plastic seeing eye dog statue thing that you can put pennies in to donate to CNIB. Lincoln asked if he and Myles could have a penny to put in there. Unfortunately, I had absolutely no change in my wallet. A lady who was in front of us in line had been chatting with Lincoln and she asked if she could give them each a penny. You would have thought that she had given Lincoln a pony! He was sooo excited. So, pennies put in the seeing eye dog, hot dogs, buns and frozen french fries in a bag, and we headed for home. It was only a five or ten minute drive - but it was certainly eventful. Lincoln and Myles were dancing in the back seat. I'm going to try to upload the video but we'll see if that works.


Once we arrived home, the boys headed off to Lincoln's room to play. I began making supper for them. I heard Lincoln say "I'm telling on you, Myles!" And he starts to come running down the hallway. At this point, I'm already heading in that direction to find out what is going on. Lincoln is only a few feet down the hall when he turns around and heads back to his bedroom to ask Myles:

"What did you say again?"

Myles (silly boy - not very bright in this situation I have to say,) repeats what he said, and this time I'm in the hallway to hear it.

Myles, "I said - I'm very mad - F*cking!"

Lincoln now turns on his heels and comes running back down the hall yelling, "Mommy! Myles said F*cking!!"

Well, needless to say Myles got a time out and we all had a discussion about words that we DON'T say in our house!! I explained to Myles that he couldn't say it at all and I explained to Lincoln that if someone said it, all you have to do is say they said a bad word! NOT repeat it!!

The rest of the night was uneventful. I let the boys sleep on the living room floor and watch a movie. Myles crashed pretty quick - by about 9... Lincoln made it until just after 10.
