Over the Weekend

Tyson got a new bed this weekend, well new to him, so he was excited. Actually he was more excited that he got to help his Dad put it together. No matter how much we tell him the bed is strong enough to hold the box spring and mattress all through the night he has convinced himself it would collapse if he slept on it. We even let Saydee and him rough around a bit on it to prove it's sturdiness, supervised of coarse because Saydee is a maniac. Even this morning, I walked in to find him sleeping on the floor on a ton of blankets. He said, "Well I'm surprised it didn't fall." So, maybe tomorrow he'll give his new bed a try. You'd think he'd have a bit more faith in his Dad's handywork.

It has become our family tradition during the summer to have family slumber parties. We'd like to camp out in our backyard, but since we don't have one, we have resorted to our living room where we enjoy the comforts of home: movies, popcorn, and a bathroom. In fact, we have spoiled ourselves to the point of hauling out the mattresses. Pathetic, we know.

By no means does Heath claim to be a wizard in the kitchen, but we all agree that he makes the most delicious homemade brownies. On Sunday he decided it was time to pass on his mom's famous brownie recipe, which he now claims as his own simply because he added chocolate chips to the batter. It appears that Tyson has that same gene for brownie making, they were amazing! Saydee however, was fired from the crew for dumping flour into the cocoa and missing the mixing bowl entirely.
