John and I will be sleeping alone for the first time in over a week.
For the past week, we have had either Tiz or Soli or both of them between us in our king size bed.
It began last Wednesday with Soli here for her solo sleepover.
Then it was Tiz for her early sleepover on Thursday night.
Both girls joined us on Friday and Saturday night and then it was Tiz, alone from Sunday to today.
If you asked Tiz and Soli what their favorite part of our sleepovers are, they would both answer, "being able to watch TV even while eating."
Both of them love snuggling between us down in the basement and choosing favorite TV shows or movies to watch together.
We let them stay up late watching the shows and we let them sleep in, too.
I hope they have many sweet memories of our time together.
Tiz, John, and I enjoyed a game of Monopoly that spanned three days. John was bankrupted (Tiz's words) and that ended our game.
Tiz did makeovers on me.
On Monday, we took Tiz to Discovery Zone. She made the choice of where she wanted to go that day and we were all pleased with her decision.
There were not crowds of people there, so Tiz was able to do all the things she wanted while she was there.
She was able to fly a plane:
After a crash landing, Tiz laid on a bed of nails:
Then she and Grandpa watched a 3 D movie in a place called the HIVE.
They had to wear clogs and 3 D glasses. They were able to choose what movie they wanted to see and Tiz chose a movie about the Solar System.
I was able to watch them watching the movie on a screen. They both seemed to enjoy their experience.
Next, Tiz was able to use an i pad to drive a remote control car and then catch a large ball that was shot our of a robot type invention.
Tiz's hair stuck straight out from the static electicity.
Tiz ran in a large gerbil wheel with both grandpa and me.
We were supposed to generate enough energy to light up some lamps, but we both got too tired to accomplish that task.
Grandpa and her did fill a water tower with their energy.
Finally, Tiz was able to touch a sting ray and a sturgeon, drive a ship, and play with some simple machines.
We ended our fun day with pizza at Marty's.
This was by far the highlight of her stay with us, but, like I said, she enjoyed the little things just as much.
Today and yesterday she came to school to help me.
She did art projects with the kids and read them a book. She is so much fun to have in my classroom.
Tonight I came home to a very quiet house and tonight I will be sleeping in a very empty bed.
