End of Summer Sleepover

Here's a shocker: These girls of mine are not quite ready to get back to school!

Then again, what kid is? We had so much going on this summer, that they didn't have as much time to be with friends as they would have liked .. thus the End Of Summer / Back To School Slumber Party. Somehow, they managed to convince me it would be a good idea if they EACH invited four friends to spend the night. The only thing I can't manage to remember is at what moment did I actually agree to this insanity?

As of last night, one of Nicole's friends couldn't make it, one was going to be pretty late and then one of Paige's friends came to hang out, but did not stay the night. Let me just do the math for you .. We started the night with 9 and then were left with 8 girls who were supposed to be sleeping in my house last night. Supposed to be were the key words!! They did very little sleeping are tired little monkeys today ;)

Nicole's Gang
(on the phone .. missing friend)

Susan, Emma, Nicole & Pheobe

The "what should we do" conversation on the lake back in June resulted in the following list of activities. And this is how we filled our very long night:

Bobbing for Apples Soda Sipping Contest

Fashion Show Make Overs

Judges:

Ice Cream Sundeas

Believe it or not, I did survive the night with 8 girls!

Heath, though .. you all might want to call and check on him. You know, to get a sense for whether or not he's about to run screaming for the hills!! j/k He did great ... he popped in every now and again with his MOO sound and funny commentary. It was really just to come get a refill on pizza or grab another beer. The rest of the time, he hid out in the bedroom watching tv and avoiding the chaos. I mean, really .... if this man can handle me and 9 teenage girls in this little tiny house after an afternoon of Jury Duty, he's a keeper!

.. But we already knew that ;)
