slumber party.

on wednesday my nephew dante was cordially invited to have a night of fun at the orchard. my sister dropped him off around three...which was also around the time we had the most bizarre weather. first rain. then rain and snow and lightning and thunder. then hail. then snow and hail. then windy snow and thunder and lightning for quite a while. it was the craziest weather ive ever seen!!! i guess you had to be there. or maybe you were.
the night began with setting up for dinner. dante was an excellent helper. we had the neighbors over for dinner. a family of four. plus our house of seven. plus little d. good conversation and good food. dante said he was so excited to go to bed and when i asked why, he said "because this just seems like such a comfortable house!"
we colored. played with playdough. read books about pirates and pranks. watched madagascar 2. played fetch with the dog played uno and had multiple snowball fights in the snow. every six year old's dream. we slept on bunk beds that night and bright and early (7am) dante woke up saying "wake up kate! kate im up! lets hit it!"....ok dante yeah...lets hit it... what do you do with a six year old at 7am? ha.
the next day was full of fun things too and dante is planning his second sleep over (he says during the summer on a tuesday?)
