Sleepovers!

We've had so many fun sleepovers this summer. I think this is what the kids will miss most once school starts. Every day they ask if someone can spend the night! Here are just a few pics from some of our Summer Sleepovers.....


The above picture was taken the night of Clay's birthday party. At 2:30 a.m. I busted my son as he was sneaking upstairs with a can of spray whipped cream!



We all surprised Clay at Kyoto. He thought his party was the next day, but Christie arranged for his friends to surprise him the night before with dinner at Kyoto and a sleepover at our house. The theme was Disney Channel, so my girls interpreted that to mean Hannah Montana!!

Mandy cried because she just HAD to sit next to Clay. When the hibachi cooking started she spent most of the time laying down in her chair afraid of the fire! Then, when the chef tried to talk to her and put her food on her plate she wouldn't touch it. A bit of "stranger danger!"


After dinner they all came to our house for a sleepover. I'd like you to pay particular attention to the AWESOME tie-dyed t-shirts they are all wearing in this photo....Christie and Yours Truly did these!! When she told me we were going to do it, I was not the most enthusiastic friend. Hello...high school teacher. I.Don't. Do. Crafty. However, I really did enjoy it! And, they totally rocked!! I would do it again. I don't know what for, because if you're going to do it you should dye a bunch. Maybe if I'm a room mom this year...hmmmm.

We had so much fun. While I wouldn't wish away these sweet grade school days, this made me look forward to when my kids are a little older. Even the whipped cream and not going to bed till 3:00 a.m was fun. Reminded me of my slumber party days. I can't wait till they are old enough to shoe polish cars!! (That was my specialty in H.S.!)

Guess which two were the life of the party...

I wish I'd gotten it on video, Mandy was running around the house yelling, "Let's get this party started!" (I'm sure she'll be more than willing to shoe polish cars!)

Sweet Summer Blessings,

Leslie

I love all the pictures! Grace and Thomas look like they were having tons of fun! Can't wait to see you guys tomorrow for the first day of school! It will be strange not having a Milder child in my class!
