Kaitlyn has been waiting to have a birthday sleepover for years. This year seemed like a good year to say yes. To my surprise, everyone Kaitlyn invited said yes. We started the party with seven girls decorating shoes (my sister’s idea from a sleepover she did for one of her daughters), then there was pizza, cake, and ice cream. Then told the girls I had games they could play or they could do their own thing. I was shocked that they wanted to play my games and then at how much they loved them. They tried to put makeup on each while blindfolded. They raced each other to move marshmallows from bowl to bowl with chopsticks. Then we gave each team a stack of post-it notes and they tried to see who could stick the most notes on their partner. We had a lot of laughs.
Then the girls changed into their pajamas and explored the popcorn bar while we watched a movie. Only three of the girls were staying the entire night, so the other three left at various points during the movie. Then the girls drifted off to sleep. I’m hoping everyone sleeps through the night and they don’t wake me when they get up…
