Just a little side note, I do not like sleepovers. I don't allow my kids to sleep at other people's houses nor do I let other kids sleep at our house. (With a few (very few) exceptions). I just don't feel, with the way things are now a days, like many people can and should be trusted with my kids. Just my opinion! But, since we know this family very well and they were leaving at 5:45 a.m., I let Andrew stay the night.
Now back to my post. Since Ally was so upset I told her she and I could have a sleepover in my bed. Yep, I broke another rule. I have never, EVER let any of my kids sleep in my bed, even when Jim's been out of town but she was so upset I was willing to do just about anything to make her happy. We got Andrew off to his friend's house, Vanessa to bed, our teeth brushed and curled up in my bed. I told her I was going to watch a movie for a little bit before going to bed and she told me I could go watch in the front room. So much for our sleepover. I watched some TV and then decided to go to bed. I went into the bathroom to find she had moved her step stool, toothbrush and toothpaste into our bathroom. I walked back into my room and found...
These are her outfits for the two days Jim was going to be gone. I didn't realize she was sleeping with me both nights.
Another special thing she and Vanessa got to do with Dad being gone is to bathe in the 'big' bathtub. They loved it!
We also went thru McDonald's drive thru for breakfast. Okay, so this isn't really something rare and special but we rarely do it on Saturday. They enjoyed their pancakes.
It was fun to have a night and day just us girls. We had fun together. That night we went over and had dinner with a neighbor and friend. It was nice to sit as mom's and talk and the kids had a little too much fun together. It's so nice to live in such a great area with such fabulous friends and neighbors!!
