Sleepovers!

For the kids' friends parties this year, they decided they all wanted to have sleepovers. We hurried to get the basement done so we could do that. Grace had hers, then two weeks later, the boys had one. I thought the girls would be easy and the boys would be a loud mess, but boy was I wrong. The girls were soooo much louder and more obnoxious than the boys! Holy cow! We did plan a few activities for all of them and I think they really had a good time!

We made flip flops with ribbon. Here is a picture of their creations.

Our cute food. WE made those nail polish bottles out of marshmallows and tootsie rolls!

The boys party was much more tame - maybe because they spent the whole time playing video games?? And there were fewer boys, as well.

Brian made a treasure hunt for the boys to get their party favors. It only lasted a few minutes, but at least it occupied them for a while. It was super hot outside, so they didn't play out very long.

This is what they spent a lot of time doing, playing Just Dance on the Wii. I think they played some bomber man and Mario Kart as well.

We had them all over at 6, ate pizza for dinner. Let them play for a while, open presents and eat cupcakes then we had them set out sleeping bags when it got dark and watched a movie. We borrowed Uncle Wes' popcorn machine, so we had real movie theater popcorn. We had to make the girls be quiet and go to sleep around 1, but the boys went to sleep on their own before midnight. The kids had a lot of fun and it was fun for them to have so many friends over!
