I can't say this sleepover was much different than the last one. The girls got along about the same, maybe a little better. We had a great time in the evening with a bonfire in the backyard, roasted marshmallows and s'mores. All the neighborhood kids were there, as well as many of the neighborhood adults - so it was fun for everyone. The girls were in bed and asleep by 10:30.
But, they got up at 4:30 in the morning.
Again, as last year, it took the entire day for all of us to recover. Grace and I each had a nap in the afternoon - she slept for 2 1/2 hours, I slept for one. AJ snoozed on the couch for a while, and Jake spent several hours awake, but crashed on the couch in front of the tv.
I'm vowing now that will be Grace's last sleepover with more than one friend, until she becomes a teenager and they all want to sleep until noon. Then, I think I will be able to deal with it.

Sometimes there are bumps in the road. Sometimes there are sparkles in the air.
I would like it if our public school days...

SNIPPETING
Here's how you Snippet...
I will post a literary "snippet" - a tasty little morsel of verbiage that I've found in a book, movie, song, conversation, or just pulled from thin air.
Your job is to add to it. You can add a beginning and lead into the snippet, or you can work from the snippet, heading to an ending. You can write a song with it, or a poem, or just add another sentence, paragraph or dissertation. How much you add and in what direction is completely up to you.
Be sure to read the responses that others have posted. That's half the fun. But, you don't have to continue on from someone else's response.
Click on "Comment" and add your response to the snippet there.

Wow...I don't remember EVER getting up that early at slumber parties! I remember trying to stay awake as long as I could, for two reasons:
1) I did NOT want to be the first to fall asleep and get my hand dipped in warm water...I had to sleep with a trash bag under my bed anyway; my bladder didn't need any encouragement.
2) We had to, like, watch movies and gossip and stay up Wicked Late, and giggle, and I TOTALLY didn't want to be the one who slept through whatever the funniest part of the party turned out to be...
Poor Katrine...early sleepers, early risers...
At least you had s'mores!!
Oh, and my homemade pizza? Usually a chopped up tomato, onion, and some slices of chicken sausage...mmmm.
Now I'm craving pizza.
