Boys Party

This year the boys decided they were too old to trick or treat, so they had a few friends over for a party. Since Brad and I were taking the younger 2 out for candy, Grandma and Grandpa Arrington stayed home because they had both boys and girls over. They are saints for staying home with them and listening to all of their noise. I think all of the kids had a good time. They ate pizza and candy, watched a scary movie, played outside and played board games. 

 I think one of their favorite parts was making Root Beer with Grandpa. It was fun to do and to see the dry ice, plus is tasted good as well. 

The boys have had a phone for a while. It's just a slider phone and mainly just used for us to know when to get them after school things. While planning this party they have gotten a lot of friends numbers, even some girls, and overnight they have grown up and moved into a new... kind of weird phase. Even though it's been only a week or so, they have learned the hard way that we are strict with our rules. They aren't allowed the phone in their room at night at all and therefore also not allowed to text late. Maybe day 3 of having all the numbers and one day after we told them the rules again, the not only kept the phone in their room, but they text until almost midnight. Their phone was taken away for a few days and they have been better since. I like them growing up and entering new phases, I'm just not sure I'm ready for them. Ready or not....
