Family Fun Night--Pajama Party

The girls were soo excited about having a pajama party for family fun night. They couldn't wait to get their pjs on and for daddy to come home. We colored some pictures of moons and stars and set up the living room like a big bed with tons of pillows and all of their dolls and stuffed animals. Elle kept running around the house and singing, and telling me stories because she was too excited to sit still. We had breakfast for dinner, complete with pancakes with chocolate chips and whipped cream for dessert.

And Lauren decided to not nap yesterday, so she

spent the beginningof the night like this--fun times!

Elle was in a much better mood. Side note...since Ava was born, we've been having some issues with Elle, mostly her having a bad attitude and not being obedient, but the past few days, she's been really great. She's started having daily chores, and she does those and cleans up after herself pretty well. She's been a much better listener and just the really sweet Elle we remember. (As we have been going through this phase, Kyle would continually say, "Where's my nice Elle? What happened to nice Elle?" when she would have a bad attitude, and so one day, when I got frustrated with her, she said, "Where's my nice mommy? What happened to the nice mommy?" Nothing like kids being a big mirror to remind you what you need to work on!

We played a game of musical chairs with pillows, and the girls loved it! We played music and danced around the pillows until the music stopped and then each jumped on a pillow.

By the end, even Lauren got the concept and would dive for the pillow as fast as she could!

Then we had an old fashioned pillow fight, and the girls were in heaven, and of course, they did not want to stop for bed time! We ended the night with bed time stories by flashlight. The girls wanted to sleep on the floor in the living room, but we convinced them that the bed is much more comfortable, and then by Elle's request, we walked them to their rooms by flashlight too. Such a fun night, and I'm sure we'll be getting requests for another pajama party soon!
