I know this is an old post, and I found it by luck. Funny read! But not funny when it’s happening to you! Thanks for the reminder never to have more than 1 or 2 kids over, and when I do, to expect the unexpected!

Sleepovers are awesome, until they start! At least this year we didn’t have to call any moms at midnight….

My wife had a really good trick that’d settle down the sleepover girls pretty quickly. At around 10 (or, to put it another way, about 3 hours before SO girls usually went to sleep), she’d go down and threaten to sing lullabies. And if they didn’t — she did.

You’re giving me flashbacks! My daughter’s 11th birthday was in February, and I’m not over it yet. We ordered pizza for dinner, and one girl announced that she couldn’t eat tomato sauce…but then insisted on eating the pizza anyway. Another said she’d given up chocolate for Lent, then went into the other room to pout when I offered her a yellow cupcake with white frosting. We had a pinata…when it broke, one girl grabbed the remains of the pinata (with easily half of the candy still in it) and poured it directly into her own bag, which she walked around hugging to her chest to protect. Still, someone managed to get enough gum to leave it stuck in not one but THREE places on my living room furniture…one of them took a bit of the upholstery off with it. And in the morning when I (at long last) tried to round them up to gather their things, one treated me to a VERY long lecture on how everyone had kept their things packed and didn’t need to gather anything. Several items of hers, including a jacket and skirts, are STILL in my house.

But when my (single, childless) friend who had come over to help suggested this might be my daughter’s last sleepover, I laughed…it was, after all, pretty much what I’d expected.
