Stick a fork in me.
Get the picture?
Last night I did the awesome mother sacrifice and I allowed Sam to have a birthday sleepover. Not just his bestest friend, but his 4 bestest friends. (I know there is no such word but the kids, I borrowed it from them)
They were not bad, really.
I invitd them over at a time that I thought I would be off the hook for dinner. Um, no they are 9 year old boys who are ALWAYS hungry.
They played video games the whole time, in the playroom with the door shut. Not bad. At 11:30 I said off with the Wii and they set up camp in the living room. I even got them all to brush their teeth.
I went back down at 12:30, they were playing Itouch, netbook and the DS. At 1:30 I said, enough was enough and it was bedtime. They went to bed and I sort of did.
I woke up at 5-ish. That stinks. My body gets up everyday at 5:15 am so I am sort of in my routine, UGH.
I made them pumpkin spice chocolate chip muffins, recipe to follow. They ate cereal and were all gone by 9:15 am.
I am ready to crash and it is not even Noon!
In the end, my Sam had a fabulous night and he is very happy.
Sounds like the perfect sleepover, well done you!
ReplyDeleteHope you get a nap or an early night tonight :) xx
wow. You definitely get the nomination for mother of the year! Your kids will really appreciate this when they are older. I still remember my sleep-over days and so do my friends. Go take a nap! -diane
ReplyDeleteThat was great of you to let Sam have his buddies over. Sounds like they were a great bunch of kids. Happy birthday to your boy!!

You, my friend, are an outstanding mom! I need to take a page from your handbook and make more of an effort when it comes to kid things that I would rather not do. They are only little once...
ReplyDeleteBravo for rising to the occasion!

Happy Birthday to Sam ~ I cannot believe that he is 9 already!! Bravo to you Mom for having the sleep over ~ congrats though for having your house back before noon. I do think that bestest is a word along with bestie ~ coming soon to a dictionary near you. xo
