Scott and I have been planning to surprise the girls for quite a while. I found these pajamas on sale and snagged them quickly. We decided that we would give them to the girls and let them stay up late while we watched a movie and ate popcorn.
When I got home from work on Wednesday, I started getting everything ready while they were on their way home from church. I put their new PJs on the steps. When they got home, we told them to go put jammies on and get ready for bed. They squealed and were so excited when they saw them. They rushed up and put them on. I popped popcorn and had it ready to go.
We all snuggled on the couch together and watched It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! Our schedule is difficult. I homeschool the kids all day. When Scott gets home, I rush out the door for work. When I get home, they are just going to bed. The kids have been in tears recently about how we don’t get very much family time anymore. It kills me. This was a fun way to sneak in some special time together.
I’m planning to do something similar for Christmas. I already have the jammies bought. The holiday jammies sell out so fast, so I always plan ahead!
