One time, a long, long time ago, we set up a huge pallet on the family room floor and surprised the kids with a big, whole-family slumber party. Of course, they totally loved it and have mentioned it several times since. Tonight, with the threat of tornados looming and a whole bunch of little people to shuttle downstairs should one decide to come our way, we decided it would be a great time to pile everyone up for the night. The added bonus this time was that Chesty would get to sleep in between two of his favorite people instead of in his crate where he normally sleeps. Our kids now think night time tornado warnings are awesome, so if you ever hear them say so you'll know why.
