C & G invited their twin friends D & D over for a sleepover, first ever. It went really well. The girls planned out a list of activities and let their friends draw from a hat. They made jewelery, played dress up, played outside, made art projects, played London Bridges while Caelan played London Bridges on her violin . . . all kid-directed, loved it!Before (what I thought was going to be) bedtime, I made the kids kettle corn and they watched a Backyardigans DVD. Well, that turned into a dance party in our little living room. So fun! The boys have some crazy moves, let me tell you, ha! Then it was dark enough that they could turn on the little planetarium star dome dealy they found in a cupboard in the classroom. They spun it around disco style and had another dance party in their room.
Next thing you know, the fireflies come out. Well, when there are fireflies and 6 kids still awake at 9 PM--why not go try to catch some? So, out we went. Said hi to our neighbor who was painting his garage in the dark from our car port, and that's when I heard echo across the dusk-lit lawn . . . "This is the BEST sleepover EVER!" Whoohoo! Our first, and already the best ever!I think it was 11 before the girls finally settled down and went to sleep. They were having trouble deciding who was going to sleep with who in which of the beds. When I went in to check on them (after whispers and giggles subsided), I found they'd come up with a solution to their dilema . . . scrap the beds and all sleep on the floor inbetween them :)
Breakfast and a few hours later, we bid our guests farewell and loaded into the van for swim lessons. Fun, sleep-deprived day :)!
