Well color me happy...girls first sleepover!

My bro, SIL, and nieces (10 and 8) have been bugging us for MONTHS trying to get me to bring my girls over for a sleepover. I'm finally ready!! Tonight is the night and I'm frickin' frackin' excited for them. :yahoo: The girls are going NUTS over the idea and want to go over N.O.W.!! :woo: My bro and sil are amazing with my girls so I have no worries that they will be in excellent hands. :good: My girls will be split up and sleep in the same room with their favorite cousin. So, this will also be the first time - ever - that they have slept separate from each other.

Anthony and I are going out to the place where we first met to have dinner. :wub:

I think the hardest for me will be going to bed without checking on them one last time. (Yes, they are almost 3.5 and I still do that. :blush: ) I'm hoping for the best...but will keep the phone near me...just in case.

 

WOOHOO!!! Enjoy your night with Anthony. It sounds like the girls will be having a blast with your brother and SIL.

 

:yahoo: The girls will have a blast! Enjoy your night out with DH!!!

 

:woo: Have an awesome time Michelle. I am sure the girls will have so much fun.

 

:Clap: It will be so much fun for all! You may have a moment here and there...but that's ok :hug: I can't wait to hear about how much :wub: they have!!

 

:Clap: :Clap: How fun!! :Clap: :Clap: I can't wait until I'm ready to let mine go. I'm sure they will have a blast... and so will you and Anthony.

P.S. I still check on them too. :blush:

 

I'm sure you will all have a blast!!

And I still peek in their rooms on my way to bed, too.

 

Oh my goodness, Michelle...how exciting for both your girls and you! Have a great time...I'm envious!!

 

I hope you had a FANTASTIC time last night! I am sure your girls did hanging out with the cousins!!

I still check on mine too at night. :blush:

 

:Clap: Enjoy Michelle! I'm sure your girls will have a blast. :woo:

We still check on the kids every night before going to bed and I have to admit, I still go look in Caroline's room before going to bed when I know she is at a sleepover. ardon: So you are not alone in that.

 

I cant wait to hear how it went

 

It was AWESOME!!!! My SIL said it took them a while to calm down but they did just fine!! :yahoo: I called this morning and she said there is no rush to get them because they are having so much fun with their cousins and then they are planning a big breakfast.

Anthony and I had fun too, sort of a quiet night, but still a good one. Going to bed was hard. I got a little choked up and had a hard time falling asleep. I almost turned on the sound machine in their room (I can hear it from mine a little bit) just to hear the noise I have heard every night for years now. :laughing:

 

:Clap: Michelle, I'm so glad to hear it went well!!! :wub: :wub: Enjoy your time "off" this morning! :hug:


Now, how can I get mine to sleep at someone's house? :unsure:

 

Just send 'em over!! :Clap: I think it helps that we have slept at other people's houses at least a few times a year since they were babies. They adjust really well. Just try it, if it doesn't work, try again. One of these times it will!!

 

Wonderful update! I can't imagine sleeping in my house without them in the next room, and I certainly can't imagine a quiet house in the morning. So enjoy! That is great that your girlies did so well!!! I wish someone would offer to take my girls for a night, but so far my family isn't interested. Oh well.

 

Hey! We're just a ferry ride away. You can ship them to us!! :Clap:

 

Michelle, you are just asking for trouble. :laughing: So far you have mine coming and now Leighann's. :faint: I have a feeling everything will be going on BUT sleeping.

 

Woohoo!! Giant 3 year old slumber party at Michelle's!!!!!!!!

 

And that's okay!! They can nap the next day at home, right? We would have so much fun!! :woo:

 

I'm thinking that I'll send my kids there as well. It's only an hour away!!

Glad that it went well, Michelle!! :woo: I would like someone to take mine overnight, but no offers are forthcoming. Although Meggie does have a sleepover planned with her girl cousins during school vacation week. My 25 year old niece is taking a day and a half off and her sisters (19 and 15), Meggie (5), Caroline (9) and Hannah (8) will be having a little girls night. Doing nails, making sundaes, watching movies. Now, who will take my boys that night ?

 

:laughing: Bring it on!!

That sounds awesome!!! :wub:

 

Michelle, glad to hear everyone had a good night!

Oh and add my two to the list!

 

So glad to hear it went well! My girls also have older cousins (6 and 8) and their mom has suggested a sleepover multiple times. I've always said "When they're older," but I'm thinking we might just do it! I completely trust my SIL, I just worry that my kids will freak out at the last minute and we'll wind up picking them up at midnight.

I'm sure I would miss them -- but it would be soooo nice to wake up to a quiet house, and not have to get out of bed at 7:00 (that's as late as we can realistically expect Amy to stay away from us) just ONCE. That is the one aspect of my pre-kids life that I feel like I've never gotten back, and I still miss it.
