Singing time....Landon directs...

...gettin' a little loud, but he's still amused.  

okay, REALLY loud now.

Thank goodness this is a short song (says Mommy)

oh boy....now this is what I was expecting on the wild-meter

...maybe they'll quiet down if we feed em again.

Yep...that worked.  Phew!

Is Grant flashing the peace sign?!  What the heck?!

Oh.  Boys.  

They spent the rest of the night playing Wii, foosball, and Legos.  

Until their presence was requested on the living room floor.  :)  We watched a short Lego Star Wars movie and then put in Monsters University.  It was explained that anyone still awake at the end of the full length feature was going to be required to go to sleep immediately following.

...and most of them were still up!  I had camped out on the couch addressing Christmas cards, and at the end of Monsters University, I announced, "if you're still awake, it's 10 after midnight.  Congratulations.  You made it! (they were all wanting to stay up til midnight) and now it's time to close.  your.  eyes.  And they did.  Easy peasy.  The next morning, Chad got up and did his Dad proud by running to Melo-Cream and picking up donuts.  He was appreciatively greeted by 10 boys who put the donuts AWAY.

A little more Lego, foosball, and Wii time, and then everyone was picked up.

...and then Grant collapsed shortly after.  Keeping up with the big boys wears a little boy out.

I got Master Landon working on his thank yous pretty quick. Which reminds me....I probably should get those in the mail.  Ugh.  :)
