Hannah's Peeps

Hannah has been asking for a sleepover at our house for a long time. She is one of six girls in her class at school and wanted to invite them all over. We made her work for the privilege. She was throwing some huge fits and crying over almost everything that did not go her way, so we made a chart and told her if she would not do that for two weeks she could schedule the sleepover. We made a chart and each morning she added a sticker for the day before.

Three of the other five girls were able to come. They were dropped off around 5:00 and the girls got right to dressing up and having their nails done to put on a fashion show.

By the time they finished doing that it was already 7:00 and they hadn't had dinner. They made their own pizzas and then had ice cream sundaes for dessert. They played a bit longer then everyone put their sleeping bags down in the living room and we watched Lion King until they all fell asleep. It was probably about 10:30 before the last of them dropped. I slept downstairs on the couch in case anyone woke up scared during the night. Wouldn't you know it was the young hostess who fussed? She would wake up and fuss. When I asked her about it the next morning she said it was because she didn't want to be asleep. She wanted to stay up late and have fun.

The next morning Hannah and Bess were up before 6:00. They went and played in Hannah's room and were shortly joined by Laila. Kayla slept until around 8:00 and the other girls woke her up for a yummy breakfast of yogurt parfaits. Their parents came to pick them up around 10:00.

P.K. had to work Friday night and Saturday morning so I didn't have time to take many pictures. Rachel was a big help.

Hannah had a great time and has fun memories of her first sleepover at our home!
