Hello everyone. I am tired tonight. We successfully pulled off this party. Nine boys ages 10 and under plus my son spent the night in my basement last night. I did not say "slept over" because they were all awake until 5 am. Who stays up until 5 am?? Now we know. We gave them pop, pizza, cake and chips. We also gave then video games and Nerf guns, all this kept them busy from 6pm until 5 am. I love it! Most importantly, Grant had a great time hanging out with is friends and I think his friends had a great time too! There were a few squabbles, nothing big. And what is it about boys wanting to constantly wrestle one another? Is this genetic, ingrained and they can't help themselves? I don't know, but I told them numerous times to stop wrestling. Needless to say, Grant was very tired today. And he did not argue about his 8pm bedtime tonight either. So, if any of you have the opportunity to experience the pleasure of a childhood sleep over, please do so. Remember your own and try not to be one of those grumpy mom's or dad's that we all knew. We will most definitely do it again! Enjoy the pictures.

Kelly this cracks me up! Thank you so much for posting it...I will send you may address :)
How fun - seems like lack of sleep hasn't gotten the best of you. I'm totally with you... Sleepovers (not so much sleep) were awesome as a kid - I can't wait for Lydi to have them! My parents would give us food, stuff to do and leave us alone to have fun... they'd check in, but didn't even care if we stayed up all night! It is totally worth it - as long as it isn't every weekend!
