An Awake Over

9 years of elaborate birthday parties that require much thought, planning and even stress to finally figure out all I needed was puppies and play station!

Skyler decided for her 9th b-day party she wanted to have a sleep over. She invited 4 girls and they did everything but sleep. I think it would be more accurately called an “Awake Over”.

From playing with the puppies to.....

A Singing and Dance Competition (kudos to PS2 Sing Along)


To watching movies (this is as close to sleeping as they got)



Eating pizza, cake & hordes of other junk food


To an all time favorite- Twister



And a South African game, Pass the Parcel



Right down to girlie stuff galore


The party was a hit!

Now for a nap please!

I made and frosted the cake all by myself--good ole AMerican Pillsbury. :-) And to prettify it I had a picture scanned onto Rice paper. Easy Pesy!

LOL. An "Awake Over." Yup, my friends and I used to do lots of those.

What a wonderful birthday for a wonderful young lady.

I hear ya, I think I'm still recovering from all those sleep overs at our house...ugh! It's no wonder that the one who loved the sleep overs later thought that a mission trip with 100+ kids was a great way to have a giant sleep over in other countries...go figure.

Looks like a great time!

isn't it amazing how sleep seems totally uneccessary for the young? meanwhile we're dying for a nap at 3PM?

looks like a great party, mom...way to go!
