a sleepover
growing up in portugal, sleepovers were never really a “thing”
sure i slept at my cousin’s house a few times but it wasn’t until i moved to the states as a teenager that i had my first sleepover
my friend Nancy had the most fun sleepovers
she invited a bunch of us girls, we would camp out in her family/tv room, watch movies, eat popcorn, talk girl talk, and then fall asleep in that same room in our sleeping bags/blankets
in the morning her parents would make the biggest and best american breakfast for us groggy teenage girls and we would hang around a bit more before going home in order to get some real and much needed sleep
this is the way i remember sleepovers
Lily has been talking about having a sleepover at our house with her friend Savannah for quite sometime
because of THIS it did not happen when it was supposed to
but, since then, Lily has had a behavior chart filled with happy faces
so, friday night was the night
the night when Savannah came over and Lily experienced her very first sleepover
there was dress-up play, pizza making, bingo, late night talking, early rising, pancake making, swimming, watercoloring and a dance party
both girls had a great time
i think Will and i hosted a pretty successful sleepover
happy monday friends
hope you all had a fun weekend

@Katie,
yes 🙂 whatever she was going through with those tantrums, has totally stopped. a growth spurt i am sure but still… i am sure this was only the first of many sleepovers to follow. xo
