G's mom was able to get near perfect behavior all week, for the mention of 'Friday night' brought instantaneous improvement.
Bean's mom...not so much 'near perfect' but it sure made Bean straighten up!
G arrived after dinner, which was perfect because it gave Bug just enough time to play with her before going to bed that she felt included. Bean was ever so grateful for Bug's early bedtime because she was already getting annoyed...or continued to be annoyed because I don't know if her annoyance with her sister has a beginning and end at these days!!
I then swept the girls away to the wonderfulest thing in the world...the drive-thru at McDonald's for chocolate dipped ice cream cones!
uh, YEA, she can have ICE CREAM!
They hung out, watched the Phineas and Ferb movie, and then got ready for bed.
some art work was attempted, as well
love the little 'hip stuck out' pose from Bean!
I gave them a good twenty minutes to 'whisper' after getting settled into bed. And then I went up to remind them that "sleep" was a big part of a 'sleep over' and if the "sleep" didn't happen then the "over" was going to be over and G was going to be taken home. (Yeah, I'm mean like that! ;) )
The quite lasted for about 5 minutes, then Bean came down with her pod hanging by a thread. Lovely! She was due for a change the next morning, but it should have held on until then. Whatever! So, quick pod change; settled them back down, and thankfully they were both sound asleep in about 15 minutes.
Ubergeek took them to Bouncin Bears the next morning (along with Bug) so they all wouldn't
what goes up...
must come down...really fast!!
and with TONS of high speed giggles!!
no, I didn't blur Bean's face...she's just laughing that hard!
I can't say I'm 'super' excited, but I'm open to the possibility! ;)
Big smiles!!! Sounds like a total success Denise. The Bean must have been so psyched. xo
ReplyDeleteIt's so beautiful to watch your own children form friendships -- esp. when you consider how impt. your friendships with your first friends were.
ReplyDeleteYay!!!! Sounds like a great night for the girls!
ReplyDeleteFun!!! So glad Bean had a great time. :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Elise has been asking for a friend to come sleep over, but I am soooo not ready for that!
ReplyDeleteYay!! So glad it was a success and the girls had a blast!! So glad that you were able to catch up on some sleep that next day too..:o)
ReplyDeleteWoohoo!!!! I'm so glad that had a blast!
ReplyDeleteI love this! Yay for sleepovers, bouncy places, and the McDonalds drive thru!!! (boo for impromptu site changes - but lets glass over that!). I'm so happy you had such fun!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! So glad they had fun and that you got to sleep in. Looked like they had a great time!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHow cool - though it sounds like you were awake for much of the sleepover. Nighttime set changes - no fun, but great that the Bean didn't have to slow down because of it!
ReplyDeleteWow! Now you KNOW your laughing when you blur your face. So fun!
