SOL 29/31: Sleepover Fun!

It was sleepover night with eight year old grandson. 

He couldn't wait to make Molasses Butterscotch Ice Cream Sandwiches (his own dreamed-up creation).

We switched our regular routine of dinner at Chick-fil-A to enjoy a Papa John's Pizza delivered by his dad. 

And then it was off to the grocery store with Grandpa to select sodas for our taste test. The two varieties of Orange were beat out by Root Beer, a long time favorite.

After watching a favorite show, it was time for Charades, a game that usually leads to him lying on the floor giggling so hard he can hardly breathe over some of our silly actions performed in search of the right words.

Our bedtime book was Loos, Poos, and Number Twos: A Disgusting Journey Through the Bowels of History by Peter Hepplewhite, selected from Grandma's book basket. Jack could not understand why Grandma would have requested such a book. 

After a six am rising & hanging out with Grandpa for an hour, Jack roused me from a deep sleep with his "I'm hungry," chant.

When I wandered out of the bedroom, he was looking at the back of last night's dreadful book featuring more titles in the same vein. I redirected him to the The Story of Silk: From Worm Spit to Woven Silk, another worm book in the book basket. That book kept him occupied while I made snowman and Mickey Mouse chocolate chip pancakes. 

When we sat down for breakfast, guess what captured our attention? He had discovered the Car Issue of Consumer Reports and was avidly reading about cars and trucks that would allow him to go off road.

Our morning at the Science Center included buying a sucker with a scorpion in it and a packet of Sour Cream and Onion Crick-ettes. Jack  pronounced the sucker as yucky once he reached the scorpion and declared the crick-ettes as having no taste whatsoever. Good thing we got that out of his system!

We dashed back to our house for a late morning snack and then it was time to head home. He convinced Grandpa to let him take the Consumer Reports home. Who knows what he's planning for our next sleepover?
