Sleepover Parties with Josh and Vince

How Cute!
Michael getting ready for a sleepover party with Josh and Vincent. He knows the boys are coming over and he has to beat some more levels to get more "guys". He knows that the boys always love to have more "guys" and "levels" to play.

Josh and Vince, most likely playing Mario Party or Super Smash.

They stop to say cheese!

When we have a sleepover with the boys, they camp out in our living room. After we play games all night we get the sleeping bags ready and try to lull them to sleep with a movie (this is usually WAY past their bedtime). We move our zebra ottoman and they sleep between the couch and entertainment center with Josh closest to the entertainment center.

In our old apartment, there was not as much space for them to sprawl. On one of the sleep overs, I woke up in the middle of the night to the Black Eyed Peas jamming on full blast. We used to hook up our TV to our stereo for "stereo sound" and for some reason we had to crank the volume up on the stereo to make it normal sounding on the TV. When we switched it back to music we had to turn the volume way down or it would be painfully loud.

In his sleep, Josh had inadvertently kicked the stereo power button. It scared the crap out of me that night until I found out what it was. Josh barely flinched. He slept through the whole thing. I turned the volume way down and tried to move the stereo a little, but he kicked it on again about 15 minutes later. At least it wasn't as loud. I ended up having to turn the stereo as far a I possibly could so Josh couldn't reach the front with his foot at all. Even though the music never got kicked on again, I didn't sleep very well for the rest of the night because I was waiting for the music.

Josh is usually the first to fall asleep.

Vince is always the last to nod off.

We end our nights with movies and Josh is asleep in the first 5 minutes. Vince is a fighter. He can be soooo tired (just like his eyes look in the picture) and we will stay awake the whole time. First it take him about 10 minutes to set his bed up just right. Then he gets in and out of his bag trying to rearrange. We I get him to finally lay down and relax he watches the movie.

He would stay awake to watch the whole movie if I let him. One time we were watching the movie and I fell asleep for a little while on the couch. I woke up and Vince is sitting up in his bag watching the movie. Once Josh is asleep and I start falling asleep, I will turn the movie off and Vince will finally sleep...only to be awakened early by Josh playing games.
