Wow! On New Year's Eve, we had a spend-the-night of epic proportions! I allowed the girls to each invite 2 friends for the festivities all the while questioning myself...Have you lost your mind?!
Leila's two friends had NEVER been to a sleep over. We kept them busy with fireworks, the original Pippi Longstocking movie, cookies & milk, poppers (filled with confetti), the Wii (gaming system), taco night, and just hanging out in their rooms. Of Leila and her friends one went to sleep at 1am, another went to sleep at 2am and the last one went to sleep at 3am. The one who went to sleep at 3am woke up at 6am!
David told Brooke and her friends that if they stayed up till 5am, as they were planning, he would give the $2 each. Now, I must say that it is sad when Brooke's friends know how cheap her father is and jump on the chance to make him give them money! LOL! They did stay up till 5am, and David is out $6! I was shocked at how much 6th grade girls can eat! This same trio just nibbled at their food last year...this year everything was gone before I could get it out of the oven or off the stove!
Cracked me up...of course, these same girls, being SOOO mature at the ripe old age of 11, went gaga over sparklers! It was so funny! All 6 of the girls were walking around the back yard with those and laughing like crazy! (They had to walk as we don't run with fire! ;) ) David also had to shoot off some bigger fireworks for the girls to see.
I will say that I felt it a great way for the girls to end one year and start another, for us too! This is the second year we have had a sleep-over for New Year's and am thinking that it will be a tradition as long as we can hold on to it!
