Kirstie let Patches take a quick bath to wash the smell off of him. 

He was now laying in the floor dressed in jogging pants and a tee shirt. He hums to himself as he colors in his favorite coloring book.

Kevin went to his room to read as Kirstie lay on the couch watching one of her favorite movies, 'The Notebook'.

Her phone begins to ring so she grabs the remote and pauses the movie. She picks up her phone and looks at the ID: Tim.

"Hello?" She answers.

"Hey girl." Tim's bass voice says. "Is, Uh, Is Patches still around?"

"Yea, he's laying on the floor coloring. Why?" Kirstie smiles as Patches looks around, knowing she was talking about him.

"Well, Adam is about to drive me crazy wanting to play with Patches." Tim chuckles. "So I was thinking, if it's alright with you and if he wants too, maybe he could come over and spend the night?"

"It's fine with me. I'll ask him." Kirstie says before lowering her phone. "Hey, Sweetie? Tim wants to know if you want to come over and spend the night."

"Mmmm pay Ad." He giggles and nods. He jumps up from the floor and runs to the door.

"No, Honey, wait!" Kirstie laughs. "We need to pack you an overnight bag." 

As she put the phone back to her ear she could hear Tim and Adam talking.

"I want to pay wid Patches. Peezzzz." Adam was whining in the background.

"Hold your horses, she's asking him." Tim was saying.

"Tim?" She laughs.

"Yes?" Tim answers.

"Uh, Patches is trying to open the front door as we speak." Kirstie giggles. "So, I'll go pack him an overnight bag and we'll be over in a little bit."

"Bless you, sweet lady." Tim says with a chuckle.

"Bye." Kirstie laughs as she ends the call.

"Come on. Let's go get you some things." She says taking him by the hand and heads upstairs to Kevin and Patches's bedroom.

Patches runs to his room, grabs Dag then starts to leave.

"Uh, Excuse me? Mr. Patches?" Kirstie calls to him, causing Kevin to look up from his book.

"Mmm pay Ad." He sasses as he points outside the bedroom.

"What's going on?" Kevin asks.

"Tim called wanting to know if Patches could come over and spend the night. But SOMEBODY might not get to go if he sasses me again." Kirstie says as she put her hands on her hips.

"Mmm pay Ad, K...Kit. Peezzzzz." Little Bits pleads as tears fills his green eyes.

"I know you do, Sweetheart." Kirstie says as her heart melts. "But Dag can't be all that you carry. You have to have some clothes too."

Kevin chuckles as he looks back down at his book.

"What's so funny?" Kirstie asks.

"You." Kevin laughs. "That kid has you wrapped around his little finger."

"Well. I hate to see him cry." Kirstie pouts as she picks up his backpack.

Patches runs to his dresser and grabs his dragon onesie as Kirstie get's him some clothes to wear the next day.

"Kev, can you keep an eye on Em? She's asleep in her room." Kirstie says as she packs the backpack.

Kevin smiles and gives her a thumbs up.

"I won't be gone long." Kirstie says as she heads for the door of the bedroom.

Patches runs over and hugs Kevin's neck.

"Bye, Buddy. You have fun and mind Tim and Jenika." Kevin says as he gives Patches a tight hug.

"K. Mmm pay Ad." Patches grins and nods. He waves at Kevin, picks up Dag and follows Kirstie out the door. 

~~

Kirstie and Patches walk up to the door and knock.

The door opens to a smiling Jenika, trying to hold back an excited Satchmo.

"Hey guys." She laughs trying to hold on to the large dog that wanted to play with the visitors.

"I really hope Mack don't get that big. He'll be dragging me all over the place." Kirstie laughs as she pats Satch on the head.

"Mmm Ad?" Patches asks.

"Adam and Tim are in the back yard putting up a tent." Jenika says. "Tim thought it would be fun for him and the boys to camp out tonight in the back yard." She giggles, shaking her head and slightly rolling her eyes.

"For the boys or for him." Kirstie laughs.

"He's as childish as Adam at times. Remember the pillow fight?" Jenika asks with a smile.

"How could I forget." Kirstie shakes her head.

"Mmm pun. Ti pun." Patches giggles. (that was fun. Tim's fun)

"Hi Patches, Miss Kit." Adam says as he comes through the back door.

"Hey Sweetie." Kirstie smiles and Patches waves.

"We camping out donight." Adam smiles. (tonight)

Patches nods and claps.

"We gonna hab a camp par and gonna woast marmeadows. And...and..and Tim is gonna tell goat tories." Adam grins. (have / fire / roast marshmallows / ghost stories)

"Pun" Patches giggles.

Jenika giggles and covers her mouth at Adam's pronunciations of marshmallows and ghost stories.

Kirstie and Jenika follow the boys outside.

Tim was sitting in a lawn chair, arranging some wood in the fire pit. A huge tent was set up a few feet away.

"Hey Tim?" Kirstie says as she walks out of the house.

"Yea?" Tim answers as he lays a log onto the pit.

"Uh, mind if Jenika and I sit in on your goat tories?" She giggles.

"My what?" Tim asks raising a brow.

"Your goat tories." Jenika repeats.

"Tim tells good goat tories." Adam smiles and nods.

"Oh, Okay." Tim laughs. "Sorry girls but my goat tories are only for the boys."

"Maybe next time." Kirstie chuckles. "Uh, Patches doesn't have a sleeping bag."

"No problem. We have plenty." Tim says as he smiles up at Patches when he claps.

"Alright, thanks." Kirstie answers then turns to Little Bits. "Angel, I'm fixing to go home. You be good and you mind Tim and Jenika. You hear me."

"K." Patches nods.

"I'm gonna miss you." She says as she hugs him tightly.

"Mmm mit K..Kit." Patches pouts. (miss)

"Don't pout, you're gonna have fun. And don't eat too many marshmallows." She smiles, poking him in the stomach causing him to giggle. 

"Hey, I was thinking about grilling out tomorrow night. Ya'll are more than welcome to join us." Tim says with a smile.

"We would love too. Should we bring anything?" Kirstie asks.

"Just yourselves." Tim grins.

"I hope we hab take. I love take. Can we hab take, Tim?" Adam asks. (steak)

"Mmmm take." Patches rubs his belly and nods.
