I Don't Want to Grow Up...

..."I'm a Toys 'R Us kid!"  Lol.

This past weekend, Buddy and Turkey stayed the night with me after my grandma's 90th birthday party. As always, I had our night packed full of fun.

We hadn't even left the parking lot before Buddy shouts, "whoohoo party time!" I love that kid.  We had to swing by my parents' house for a quick minute to get my birthday gift and then we were on our way to my place.  On our way out of the driveway, Buddy and Turkey both start cheering that they are coming home with me to have fun. 

We sang and danced in our seats the whole way home until Turkey fell asleep from pure exhaustion. We had all had a really long day.

On our way home, we stopped by Target, which is Turkey's favorite place to go, and we picked up lots of movie candy, Despicable Me, Eggo waffles for breakfast, and then headed home. We made a quick dinner and then proceeded to set up a make-shift campsite/tent in my living room.

It was just pure childishness and excitement to just get crazy and start moving all the furniture around and then draping it with sheets and blankets to set up our campsite. The kiddos and I had a blast and it made it all comfy and cozy for us to watch our movie.

Redecorating my living room brought back memories from my childhood where my brother and I would make tents in the living room or our bedrooms with whatever we could find. I would sleep for days in those tents feeling like I was camping somewhere outside. I felt like such a kid again!

We spent all night laying in our campsite watching our movie, pigging out on popcorn and candy, and laughing at the minions on Despicable Me. It was such a perfect night, and I loved spending time with Buddy and Turkey, especially since I don't get to see them as often as I would like. They were the best birthday gift I could ask for! :)

Spending time with those kids makes me forget about all the worries I have and I suddenly become a kid again. I wish I could feel that way all the time.  It's much more fun.

What was your fondest childhood memory? What makes you feel like a kid again?
