Tales of a Random Sleepover



Sleepovers are pretty much a standard part of our weekends. They vary in size from small - 1 or 2 guests, medium - 3 or 4 guests, big (but not uncommon) 5 to 8 guests, and what we officially deem a "BIG Sleepover" which has to date been as many as 15 guests. A BIG Sleepover could be for a birthday, to mark the beginning or end of summer vacation or Spring Break, or just because we haven't had one in a while. Patrick is lobbying to have the mother of all big sleepovers for his next birthday coming up in February.

This past weekend, one of Chelsea's friends came Cosmic Bowling with us and spent the night Friday night, but that hardly counted, so we had four friends here on Saturday night - which makes for more of a party atmosphere. There are three neighborhood brother/sister combos that are part of the regular cast of characters - two of these pairs were with us Saturday night.

There was dinner, flashlight tag, wii fit, Age of Mythology, fun with glow sticks in the front yard (they made a jump rope out of them!), some interesting poster art, a cool little percussion jam session


A few rounds of Mafia,


and eventually settling in sleeping bags and believe it or not watching The Notebook?? Go figure!
