When Jeffy and I were looking at houses way back in 2005, it didn’t take me very long to fall in love with my house. I loved the floor plan! I loved that all the bedrooms were upstairs, that the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms were close to the master bedroom, yet not too far away, but the one thing I REALLY loved was the upstairs loft. We turned it into a super cute playroom for the kids and it has been the basis for lots of different make believe games. When I first walked into our model for our floor plan, I actually went into hyper-drive into the future and imagined our kids having sleepovers up there with their friends. It’s so big and roomy and LOTS of kids could sleep up there. Well, we recently got a different TV up there, one mounted to the wall so it swivels and stuff, and I wanted to test out the sleepover idea up there, so we had a family slumber party!! We pulled our mattress out there and blew up the kids blow up beds and snuggled up to watch ‘Homeward Bound’, which is potentially the best movie ever. Not only did the kids LOVE it, Jeffy did, too. I, of course, had seen it as a 10 year old and loved it and remember all of the feelings involved with that movie. Did I mention it’s the best movie ever? It made at least one of us cry several times…
We all had SO much fun spending that quality time together, watching those animals survive those dangerous mountains and listening to the rain and thunder outside. The kids fell asleep after the movie and Jeffy and I talked the night away. We woke up to Logan screaming at about midnight, but it didn’t phase Lindsay and she slept through the whole thing. Darn night terrors… I seriously can’t wait to do it again and Lindsay asked us the next day if we could sleep out there every night. If only…
