We were so excited to have Billie come over for a sleepover! We began our evening with hair chalk- a safe and instantly removable way to color your hair. Dinner fit for royalty included chicken, mashed potatoes, broccoli salad, hawaiian rolls, and honest berry lemonade. Delicious!
We quickly followed that up with nail painting, dress up, 30 minutes or so of reading books, bath time complete with water crayons and an ABC lesson for Savvy, and a brief room cleaning session. Our night almost ended with a viewing of Anastasia, popcorn, and water. Savvy went to sleep and it was just the big girls, singing and dancing to the movie. Then it was bedtime for all.
Except really, who wants to sleep on a sleep over?? Unfortunatley I made a rookie mistake, and still had all of the girls sleeping in one room. The older gals were trying to build a fort and Savvy was trying to sleep. So I relocated Cass to our room. Except then Billie and Cass were no longer able to whisper in loud voices and avoid sleep in a conspirator kind of way. Just as I was thinking, maybe I should move Savvy to our room so the others can commence their faux sleeping, Billie was a little sad and missing home. So her dad came to get her. But, we were able to cheer her up in the few minutes it took for him to get her and assure her she was welcome back anytime! Up until then, our sleepover was pretty awesome. Hence, we are now calling it the great-late-nite-hang-out. Looking forward to more of those!
