Flashbacks and growing up

This weekend has been a weekend of a lot of different feelings. Trevor is really growing up fast, and at the same point, I'm really flashing back to my young years and can start remembering the age that he is at now and it is making me feel really old.

Trevor had his first sleepover on Thursday night. The kids didn't have school on Friday, so it was perfect to let him get SUPER excited, get less sleep than he usually does, and enjoy playing with his friend before he went to bed and then again when he woke up in the morning.

From what I understand, he did great. I wasn't worried that he'd miss mom and dad, although I know with most new situations, he tends to have to figure them out before he decides how he feels about them. He and his friend stayed up giggling and pretending to try to go to sleep, which really brings back memories.

The next day, he couldn't stop talking about how much fun he had and how he thinks he has a really great "best" friend. Soon, we'll be returning the favor, and Trevor is already planning it all out.

On a somewhat related note, for our family movie night last night, we watched Ghostbusters. There were a few "too scary" or "inappropriate" scenes, but for having a movie buff like Russ in the house, he was very helpful to fast forward through those parts. Gwen really enjoyed the music and was dancing through any song that was playing during the movie.

In the background of the menu, the theme song is playing. So Trevor wanted to listen to the menu song playing. At that point, Russ went out and found the CD that we have that song on. Flashback to the millions of times I have heard that song playing with Kevin and Brian (and perhaps some other friends) dancing to and acting out being ghostbusters.

Such fun times. I wish I didn't have to feel so old ;-)
