When you say open, did you have to untwist the cap? Or perhaps, you're drinking from a good vintage box? Maybe your wine is really Mad Dog 20/20?
Maybe Nicholas's friends aren't as wild as DS's friends, but I know there have been times when I watched the clock just waiting for a play date to end! It really depends on the individual kids, but I still thing 4 total is plenty for overnight.
I am used to kids complying with my requests, and DS had one little friend a couple of years ago who just would NOT do what I asked him to do (like get out of the pool when it was time to get out). He also climbed up on my kitchen counter so he could reach something!The reason I mention this is because I had NO CLUE he would do that when I invited him!
DS doesn't have friends sleep over very often, but if he does I make sure I screen his choice VERY carefully!
All of her other friend's kids make her I think it's been over a year since Christopher and Kirsten had one...
If you hear the phone ringing, don't answer it, okay? I need to talk to your children.
I think you are right.
I wonder if her ears are burning?
Man I have you guys fooled I am so not supermom and I am blushing
I find cake crumbs much easier to clean up over melted ice cream and hot fudge. Movies and popcorn is a good idea, however getting them to settle down and watch one is another story. Video games are always a hit, but it must be a small crowd. Board games that have short durations would be another suggestion. Unless you can comfortably fit all the kids in his bedroom, I would opt for a larger room that they could all sleep in. Perhaps they could each bring their favorite game and teach the others how to play. That would be less thinking on your part and it would give each of them a leader role at some point. Another project could be getting fabric markers and white t-shirts and letting them design a momento of the night. I like quiet busy things. These are just off the top of my head. Something may hit me later. I'll ask the boys too.
So having a 3 boys here is my take on sleepovers. Nick has gone to one and it was just a couple of boys. They did pizza and lots of outside stuff and it was not very organized, but he had fun. That being said if Hunter asked to have a party I would keep it small and I would make sure that I knew the kids and parents well. Kids get all weird at nighttime and I wouldn't want one freaking out on me. I would say no more than 4 for a first sleepover. Instead of ordering out pizza I would either buy a pizza kit or use bread dough and sauce and let the kids make their own. They could make one big one or each make a small one with whatever toppings they like. I would probably not do sundaes as 8 year old boys are messy. I think I would make cupcakes and have frosting and sprinkles, m & m's etc for them to decorate the cupcakes. Maybe little ice cream cups to go with it, but maybe not
Want to share that? You know the way.
Just reading about sleep overs caused me to go open the wine!
I let them all sleep in the family room....
Thanks!I'm not Anne Marie or Terry, but the hidden Donald is on an armchair when you enter the long hallway of doors - near the suit of armor. I'm pretty sure it used to be somewhere else before the refurb, but I could be wrong. I do remember our guide on the KTTK tour point it out, though!
Those are great!
Yours are great too. I bet a photopass photographer gave you their card. I hope they had the card number written down. That happen to me on Lizzys birthday trip. The photographer insisted that I had not given him my card but in fact he had given my card to the Chip and Dale fanatic in front of us. She had lots of photos taken, gave the presents, more photos. Got her card back and then went back for more photos after I had already given the photographer my card. I went to the photo shop right away and found my photos but I always take a photo of my photopass card now.
Prayers for your co-workers family, Chanons Aunt & Uncles and everyone else in CA. How tragic!!!!
Welcome home Terry & Steffy. Glad you guys had a smooth flight!Our flight was 10 min utes early. Ouyr luggage was down right after we arrived. The shuttle came as soon as we called.
I dont think this will do much for me. Even if I could get 30% off for say the BC it would still be about $100/night than ASMu Family Suite and because I want to go for 12 or 14 nights that would add up. 40% off a 2BR at OKW would be $200 more per night.Chanon - Good luck getting back into the "work" groove! I would love to call you to chat about my August trip, but there isn't anything I can book yet! Hopefully in a little over a month we can get all those details in place!I was looking at historical discounts on MouseSavers and last year Bounce Back started Nov. 8. Since they just ended Bounce Back on Oct. 12 I am wondering if they will offer it again, and if they do, if the redemption dates will be early enough in August for us to take advantage. Hopefully by mid-December we'll know our exact dates and I'll have the plans worked out well enough to know what we need to book. I guess we should book Bounce Back if it's offered and then cancel it if AP rates are just spectacular, huh?
Good luck with that!!!!
We made it to the Pumpkin in the Park event 45 minutes late and they were just wrapping up the costume contest. Hunter didn't care and went off to play, but Colby insisted that I take him over to the judges. He was Dracula in his coffin. They only give out 3 trophies, one for scariest, one for cutest and one for most original. Colby was sure that he was the scariest, but he's just too cute to be scary. In the end he did win the most original trophy. He was on cloud 9. I'm glad that we got off our butts and took them as they all had fun. I was feeling guilty that I can't take them trick or treating on Wednesday since I have to work so at least I got to be a part of this
for Colby!
I've done something tonight I never thought I would do....I filed a complaint about toilet paper.
