Sleep over survival

Well, Ms. Bailee had a friend spend the night on Sunday since there was no school on Monday. I know as a mother of 2 girls, the sleep over thing is inevitable so when Bailee asked if she could have a friend over, I said yes. It turned out to be really good. Here are the highlights:
1. MC showed up and we had a good visit with her parents. She brought 2 bags of webkinz, a sleeping bag, a pillow, a bag of traditional sleep over stuff, an alarm clock, a robe, a flashlight, and her allergy medicine!
2. All 3 girls played outside at the play set and I remembered the bug spray.
3. The girls came in and played in the front room. They had important discussions that included favorite colors and Junie B Jones books. This segued into MC singing while B played piano.
4. Dinner was hotdogs. MC ate the chips... that's it and my girls wolfed down their food while they watched Tinkerbell on the Disney Channel. We had ice cream at 8:30 or so.
5. We got out every blanket we own at about 10:30ish and laid them on the floor for the big girls to sleep. They giggled out there until about 11:30 and then went and slept in B's bed.
6. UP at 6:30 to watch TV. My girls wolfed down eggs and sausage while MC ate... nothing. We managed to lose and find MC's allergy meds and they somehow managed to tear the curtain rod from the window in the process.
7. They had a great time playing until lunch and at lunch I convinced MC that she needed to eat a whole hot dog! Her dad came and took them to see NIght at the Musuem which B told me was really good... but probably Leah would be scared.

It was a really great day and we managed to survive just fine. Bailee had a blast and she had NO trouble falling asleep last night!

Hope you are well,
K

I think the alarm clock might be the funniest part! Glad you survived. I can't remember, was this her first sleep over?
