~*~His Precious Gems~*~

Here are a couple photos from Emily's birthday sleepover. The girls had fun, at least mine did! They were exhausted Saturday and Sunday. Does that mean anything?

Here are the girls at Chick-fil-a waiting patiently for their food. Emily is the one in the back on the right side.
Here's a group photo taken after they ate. I knew it would be busy on a Friday night but wanted to chance it anyways. We get there and there is a school night from the Christian school my sweet H. is going to. The girls ate first and then played in the tubes. I stood underneath of them to listen to them in making their "girl's club". Then the unexpected happened. Two older boys, maybe 9 or 10, came down the slide talking about those girls who were being mean. Not MY girls, I'm sure! So, I asked him what was going on and he said they were punching, kicking, slapping, and blocking the way so they couldn't go through. My girls have always been the ones to complain about the rough older boys in the play area and now they (the whole lot of them) were being the bullies. After a little chat they were fine... Until the boys wanted to get by again. They had had enough so we all decided it was time for ice cream. A good decision that was.

And the goofy girls on the way home. I need to share this story with you, too. Christine had the idea to play a "wheel of fortune" type game. She gave a clue and they needed to guess the letters to figure out the word. The clue was "cute animal". After they guessed a bunch of wrong letters, I said "D". Yes, finally, knowing that the word has to be dog. Becca excitedly said "I know! I know! Deer!!!" What? No Becca a cute animal. She responds by saying, "yeah, a deer. It's cute and starts with a d." I love how her mind works!!!
So, after dinner, they watched part of a movie, opened presents, ate cake, colored and played, and was in bed by 10:15. After lots of giggles turned into Emily crying, I laid down on the air mattress with Bec and Emi and everyone was asleep by 11:30.
Glad that day was over and done with! I know I just had 5 girls here and they were all very well behaved but I got my fill of sleepovers for quite awhile.
Until next Friday...possibly. I did promise Emily she could have another one with H. since she was unable to come to this one.
