Slumber Party Report

[transposable_element]

On the one hand:

One of the girls woke up at 4:00, snuck out of the house without telling us, and went home (half a block away). Luckily we didn't find out about it until she came back.

During breakfast it became clear that all four girls had forgotten everything they ever learned about "please" and "thank you." This includes my own daughter, so I can't very well fulminate against their parents.

My daughter said some somewhat impolitic things while opening her presents.

During a Minecraft session this morning, there were tears and accusations of homicide.



On the other hand:

All of the girls were asleep last night by 10:30 PM -- a true miracle!

Unlike the last sleepover, nobody threw up.

They let us sleep until 7:00 this morning.

The only mess still extant is some glitter on the living room floor.

The little hellions have all gone home now.

Oh my. It's not a girl party unless someone is crying. (I had boy spawn and even I know this). And that flouncing home. Oh gosh. I hope you all get a good night's sleep!

All in all it was a decided improvement over the last time my daughter had a sleepover, when one of the girls threw up during the middle of the night. But after that almost anything would be an improvement!
