isaac sleeps over

On Tuesday, my cousin brought over her son, Isaac, for a sleepover.  The boys were looking forward to him coming all day.  I had them help me straighten up their rooms and the playroom.  (They are always more cooperative when they have a friend coming over.)  I wasn't sure if Isaac was going to eat with us, so I made enough dinner for him and the boys.

When my cousin dropped him off, she told me he had already eaten dinner.  The boys ate quickly (god forbid they miss a minute of playtime with a friend) and were off to play with Isaac.  They played very nicely together.  After Isaac was here for a few hours, SJ's unique quirkiness was starting to wear on Bob.  He started complaining about him and I told him and Isaac to play in another room.

That was the only time I heard a complaint about SJ all night.  Thank goodness!  The boys went to bed around 11 o'clock.  They all were up and ready to play around 10 a.m.  I made them pancakes for breakfast and they played video games until it was time to go to the pool.  We ate lunch right before we left for the pool.

We arrived at the pool at 12:45.  The water was a little chilly, but SJ and Isaac went right in.  Bob decided it was too cold for him and went right over to the park to play Four Square.  SJ and Isaac were in the pool almost the whole time (of course they left the pool for adult swim).  After we were there for a couple of hours, Isaac asked me where Bob was.  "At the park," I said.  "Why isn't he in the pool?" he asked.  "He thinks the water is too cold.  If you want to stay in the water, you will have to swim with SJ," I told him. 

Isaac opted to stay in the water with SJ.  SJ was trying to teach Isaac how to do handstands in the water.  Isaac made a good effort, but SJ is already really good at them.  They were also trying to jump off of each other's backs.  (This is a game that the boys like to play with some of our other pool friends.) 

After 4 hours, we left the pool and took Isaac back home.  We had him for almost 24 hours and the time went very fast.  It always surprises me that when we have an extra kid in our house somehow our house is quieter.  That doesn't mean that I want to have any more babies, but I will borrow Isaac every once in a while for some extra quiet!
