Questions like:
Where will everyone sleep? (and) How early will they wake up? tormented me! But despite my fears, we went ahead and had the all our nieces sleepover.
And guess what...
It wasn't scary at all.
We have wanted to do this for a long time, and I dare say we will do it again. We made smores and told ghost stories. Then went around the circle and had everyone make up one part of the story. I used to love doing this as a kid. And no campfire is complete without a little singing. :)
I was even cool enough to find a glow in the dark ball, and let the girls play catch after it was dark outside. Then after a little stargazing, it was inside for a scary movie.
This picture cracks me up. Ty and Halle have the same look in their eye!
I was honestly pretty worried about how the morning would go. But 3 out of the 7 kids didn't wake up until 8:30, and we didn't hear anyone until 6. So that was way better than I had emotionally prepared for! All the kids were really good, and had fun coloring in the morning while I made breakfast.
We hope the kids had as much fun as we did!
That's really neat! Sleepovers with cousins were always the best.
