Sweet Tooth Sleep Over

With summer coming to a close we had a few things in mind to say good bye with a bang.

               Brooke has six little girls in our neighborhood alone that go to her elementary school and are in her grade.
               Brooke got very excited when I told her that she could invite every one of these girls to have a swimming and sleep over party at our house a few weeks before school starts back up. I did make it very clear to her that she will NEVER have a sleep over at someone else's house, but she can have many at ours. I explained that we don't want to make anyone feel bad and since there would be some of her friends I would be comfortable with her sleeping at their house, but not others...there is just a rule that the sleepovers go on only at our house, where I can supervise all night, and even sleep very close to them...

 Brooke the party planner that she is started planning all the things in her mind that she wanted to do at her party. It ended up being a " Sweet tooth sleep over ." I am sure you can imagine that with Brooke as the host, and her as her Mother's daughter.

I was shocked there wasn't any fighting at all, unlike the sleepovers I had as a little girl. There was however lots of drama. One min. from the next there was a splinter in some one's foot, or someone that had a head ache, someone couldn't find their special toy, etc. and then there was Will chasing after all these little girls, dying to be a part of all their games.

They had a great time playing " Marco, Polo " in the pool, eating pizza, ice cream , candy and winding down with Rapunzel as a bed time movie. All the girls were so in love with Brooke's pajamas. Luckily Grandma Pack has bought her almost every pair the Disney Store has ever made. She had enough pairs for every little girl there, and enough plush Disney dolls for each girl to cuddle up with....
