What Happens at Uncle Josh's and Aunt Marcy's, Stays at Uncle Josh's and Aunt Marcy's

Friday night we had the pleasure of having our nephews Jack and Noah (aka "Nonah") stay overnight. And boy was it a riot!

We started the night with a game of bowling at LUCKY STRIKES Bowling Alley. Noah gracefully ended the game with the most STRIKES (of course I came in second), Cayel won the award for slowest ball rolling down the lane :), Jack managed to get the most SPLITS and Josh squeaked by with the winning score.

After bowling we let the boys decide where they wanted to have supper and unanimously the vote was the Pizza Ranch (go figure if they have some of Josh's blood in them). Forgetting that all rules go out the window when mom and dad aren't around, we let the boys get their own pop while we got their plates of food ready. When they got back to the table Jack had a very serious and concerned look on his face, he continued with, "my mom doesn't let Noah drink Diet Coke." So, of course I played the parent and asked Noah what kind of pop he was drinking (full well knowing it was Diet Coke). As innocent as ever, he replied with, "what did you say?" I laughed as he took a huge gulp of his Diet Coke (that was filled to the brim of the glass). "What happens at uncle Josh's and aunt Marcy's, stays at uncle Josh's and aunt Marcy's."

Once Cayel was put to bed, the boys decided it was time for a die hard game of Monopoly (once again, must have some of uncle Josh's blood in them). Before we even began the game, I suggested that we play the shortened version (being it was already 8:00) - all 3 boys responded with, "NO WAY!!" Boy was I impressed with how well they know how to play Monopoly . . . I don't know how many times Noah shot Josh down on one of his "proposals" for property - it was hilarious :)! Of course the game got heated just as it was bedtime for the boys - as I gave the count down for bed (10 minutes . . . 5 minutes), all 3 boys argued with me and said (at the same time) "what happens at uncle Josh's and aunt Marcy's stays at uncle Josh's and aunt Marcy's." From that point on, "bedtime" was null and void. Thankfully the game ended (with me winning :) around 10:00 - so, they were only a half an hour over their bedtime (whew).




What fun would it be to have a sleepover at an awesome aunt and uncles :) if it didn't consist of junk food, sugar, pop, games and no bedtimes?!?!?! Mission accomplished!
