Half Sleepover

Our friends, the Stumbaughs, invite us over for what we call “half sleepovers.”
We have a big crazy dinner with all the kids and then we all play a bit.
Then P.J’s and bedtime for the kids.
If the kids mostly sleep – then we get to play games with just the grown-ups.
We then collect the sleeping children and take them home.
So, it’s a half sleepover because you go to bed at a friend’s house, but wake up in your own.

Here is Susan’s story bringing all the girls to the room. Ezri is in orange snuggling with her friend, K.

Here’s Ezri curled up and looking ready for bed with her friend, P.

The night also included antics with glitter. Ezri came out unglittered, but other children were not so fortunate. There was an epic game of school where I was called to answer to the principal (elected principal by virtue of being the eldest child). The second eldest girl was the teacher. Ezri was one of the good kids. I was drafted to be the bad kid who did not share and tried to eat chalk. Ezri was called to the principal’s office to receive gifts. I had to sit in the corner.
