Sleep Overs

People ask me all the time how I feel about Frankie and Brandon being out of the house. Well, I have to admit that it's been a little strange. However, it's definitely had its benefits I must say. The other three kids go over and spend the night with them, and then me and the hubs have the house to ourself. That's a plus, right? =) I honestly didn't think Kela would stay over and actually sleep outside of our home, but I was totally wrong. She has loved it and she repeatedly asks to leave to do it again and again. Frankie said, "Mom, she's lived with us for 17 years! Why would you think she wouldn't feel comfortable sleeping with us?" Hahaha...okay...good point! The first time she went to Frankie's with Noah (photo taken with phone). She did really well! Slept like a charm. However, Frankie wouldn't change her diaper, because she's a girl, and made Noah do it. Crazy, huh?! I don't know what he's gonna do when he has kids of his own. That boy is hilarious!

The other day Noah and Gabriel headed off to stay with Frankie, but Kela was left at our house. She was so sad that all of her brothers were gone. She started asking to go to Brandon's instead. I called him while he was at work and told him that his little sis' was in need of attention and wondered if he would swing by and pick her up when he got off. He was delighted to do so, and said of course he'd get her! Kela was ecstatic when she saw Brandon!!! She packed her pajamas and stuffed bunny and jumped in his arms. She was glad to have some one-on-one time with him (although Brandon said she kept him up for most of the night changing where she wanted to sleep and playing with the blinds...haha).

I am so grateful that my children love each other and want to be together! I'm so proud that family is important to them. It really makes my heart swell!!! They are amazing! I love them so much!!!
