The boys were beyond excited. Shep's first time to spend the night in a hotel. Conner, my child who goes until he crashes, fell asleep in the car, of course, and was ready to party when we arrived.
Breaking in the bed. I promise we're trying to get rid of the passies=)
Disclaimer: I am NOT a Duke fan. Conner saw this shirt at the consignment store and wanted it. Guess he comes by it naturally seeing that all the men in my life, except my husband, are avid Duke fans.
I was bummed at first when I saw there was no bath tub, but the boys decided to try out the shower and it was a HUGE hit. I think Shep played in there about a whole hour on Saturday. I wish I had one of these at home...
Not ready to get out yet, Mom! Close the door!!
I'll just say that bedtime was interesting. Conner always has trouble falling asleep when he's had a nap and add on the excitement of a hotel...I think he finally passed out about 11 pm and Shep at 10:30.
We usually sing before bedtime. The boys take turns picking a song to sing. Shep loves El Shaddai. Conner: What's El Shaddai? Me (in the middle of singing): It's a Hebrew word. Conner: Why did "she die". Me: Oh...haha...no one died. It's a Hebrew word for God. Conner then picked "There is a Fountain." Conner: Why do we wash all our sins away? Me: We have sin in our hearts. Conner: What is sin? We talked awhile, mostly about sins he would understand like disobedience, selfishness and unkindness. He started listing things off that were unkind or disobedient. Then he said, "God can make my heart clean!" Me: Yes he can! He told me he learned that at Sunday school (thank you Rachel B and Lib K!) That conversation encouraged my heart. God is so faithful and it's neat to see Him working in the heart of my 3 yr old.
How sweet! It's nice to know someone's listening! I forwarded this to Lib also :-)
