The party is done!
















































You know, my husband had the right idea. He headed for the hills, literally. He went hunting instead of staying home for OUR daughters birthday/slumber party. I never really had a slumber party growing up, so I didn't know what I was in for. He has two sisters, whom I know for a fact, had slumber parties. He failed to tell me what I was in for. He knew. I swear he did. He can't tell me any different.
The girls had a wonderful time tearing through my house. Throwing the confetti my Husband thought would be a wonderful addition to the party, wrapping my daughter like a mummy with an entire roll of toilet paper and a leftover roll of streamers, and generally torturing the cats until i had to put them in the bedroom. Poor things. They ventured out after the girls went to sleep and looked at me as if it was all my fault. One girl, as she was running by said This is the best birthday party I have ever been to. Why, because you can't act like this anywhere else??
They made slipper socks which went fairly well. No mess from that. I was shocked. Then we made cinnamon ornaments. My little girl, the apple of my eye, made a turd with her dough. Of course, that generated much laughter from the girls and a little head shake from me. However, she did make some cute ornaments in the long run.
All in all, the girls and I had a great time. They were wonderful kids, no worse than you would think a group of girls would be with a sugar high. Amazingly they crashed at 10:30pm. Not too bad. We had home made waffles for breakfast the next morning. They loved that. and they were gone by 8 except one. She left at noon which I told the parents ahead of time it was OK.
I can tell you this, i don't think I will have another slumber party for quite some time.
