87.5% success

Think I may have just 1 more kiddo awake (11:24pm) Please fall asleep soon as I'm tired and you keep playing with your plastic Kleenex packet you brought and it's driving me bonkers!  I want to go to sleep!!

Note that 6/8 now have blankets covering the opening of their tent. We also have a few who snore!


Love,
Mom

Melatonin

Autumn just came over to my sleeping spot on the couch and asked if I had melatonin and told me she should take "approximately 1 hour before she can fall asleep".  Lord help me.

Almost asleep...

Some are asleep while others appear to be still trying!  In order to get to this point (at 10:42pm) it required much negotiating and creative thinking.  Half the tent lights on for those wanting light and half the tent lights off for those wanting dark.  And...when it just was not dark enough....gathering blankets to cover the front of the tent.  And this was after the girls had a hard time deciding if they wanted to sleep head in the tent or head out of the tent.  Since that required sleeping bag adjustments I was needed to help...oh, it also caused tent disconnections which require my assistance.  

Now 7 out of 8 are awake with no line of site to 100% success as the periodic questions to "Miss Anne" or "Mrs. Horton" or trips to the bathroom disturb and start a chain reaction!!  

Oh my!

Mom

Slumber party night time fun!!

The girls are having such a fun night!  It is much more work than I ever imagined as there has been some 8 year old drama I've had to deal with, but boy have they had fun!

They had Chick-fil-a chicken, berries and chips for dinner, made their own lip balm and lotion, opened gifts, sang happy birthday and ate cookie cake, had a dance party and even decorated our own pillow cases!

The girls loved the decorations and sleeping tent and really lived their party favors (matching pjs for themselves and their doll)!  

I'm able to blog right now as they are relaxing and watching a movie (Ella Enchanted)!  Straight to bed after this.  Thinking it may be about 10:30 before they are asleep....maybe they will sleep in until 8am??? Please!!

Slumber party decorations: upstairs

Upstairs we turned the table into a big bed and will use this space for all eating and crafting!

We also set up a big candy and sweets bar!  Mommy even remembered to get the moms phone numbers in case anyone needs to go home before morning!

Slumber party- basement decorations!!

We love how the basement turned out!  Everyone loved the tents and fun decorations!  We had a photo prop station, an area to play music and lots of places to play!  So cool!
