Entry FeedWe have had a few family sleepovers. The kids have gone to my parents, my sisters, and Husband's parents, and we have had cousins sleep here. All have been fairly uneventful, except once when a cousin wanted to leave at 11:30 pm.
Tonight we have our first "friend" sleepover. So far so good. We have eaten pizza, and gone to the video store to pick out movies. We have decided to watch the first movie, then set up the pull-out couch and put on pajamas.
I have main rules for sleepovers - kids are always allowed to phone home, anytime, and they will be driven home on request anytime. I am sure as they grow older, the list of rules will grow longer. Right now it is a given that parents are always home, and that no alcohol will be served, but in the future this will be spelled out.
My fingers are crossed that all will go well. I am looking forward to the night when all of my kids will be at sleep-overs at friend's houses, and Husband and I can rent a movie for just us. Tonight my plan is to put on my pajamas at 9 pm and watch Being Erica. I will leave the kids to Husband to deal with.
