Mom's first sleep over...

WOW! Unusual for a week night, but what the heck. Sam and Alex are spending the night. The three most boisterous girls I've ever met, in one house for an hour is excitement enough. But for the whole night?? Much easier. They've calmed down. I over-cooked the pizza Sonja donated, but Alex and Sam didn't seem to mind. Lex opted for chicken pieces. All in PJ's and teeth brushed by 8:05pm, then someone, not sure who, got the idea for a bath. They talked me into it. 20 minute time limit restriction, and they're on their last five. I took the chance to log on. They're listening to music and drawing on the bathtub walls.

A condition for them spending the night was to help Lex clean her room. Bonus. Alex is superb at making the top bunk and warns that Sam kicks in her sleep. I move a small TV in Lex's room for the evening. The last thing to be wondered about is how easy it is to get everyone up at 6:00am. Griff is finally calm, and the cats have adjusted well.
