My Big Girls, Part 1

My children are officially big.... they are no longer babies. They only like to watch "Big Kid" Disney with shows like "Hannah Montana" and "Wizards of Waverly Place," they are in love with the Jonas Brothers, and just this past weekend...... they went to their first slumber party. Not just a sleepover with one friend. A real slumber party with five other kids.

My friend Shannon is apparently a glutton for punishment and for her daughter Emily's 5th birthday, she got to invite 5 of her friends to spend the night. They girls counted down for a week, and when Friday came, they were so excited they could hardly stand it. They've spent the night several times with grandparents, and just one of their friends, but this time all the little girls had popcorn, watched movies, and slept in their sleeping bags in front of the TV. We have had 2 extra children spend the night at our house once, but never 5! Shannon said that the first of the group fell asleep around 11, and the last sometime after midnight. The girls went to sleep when the movie was over around 11:30. All 6 girls were up by 7:30 the next morning. Needless to say, the girls had a nap the next day, even though they never take naps anymore.


Ask yourself.... how would you fare with all of these kids spending the night at your house... I know I'm not that brave!
