Jordyn's friend Andrea turned 7 this weekend, and she celebrated by having a birthday-costume-slumber party! It was Jordyns first slumber party, and since all the kids are so young, moms, if they wanted, were invited to stay the night too.
I was excited to partake in the slumber party...especially since i knew me and all the moms would have a blast! And we did...we stayed up late watching the Twilight movies while the kids played and played and played.....
This is one of the gifts we gave Andrea...she has a thing for elephants, and when she saw the i-spy quilt i made for Jordyn, she asked if i could make her an elephant quilt. Well, i didnt have time to make an entire quilt, so i made her a pillow instead. She seems to like it :)
It will go nicely with her favorite stuffed animal, "elephant", whom she takes everywhere!
Her birthday, being in October, always has a pumpkin theme of some kind...and Sharon, her "super" mom, always makes the best cakes! Looks like everyone agrees....
Enjoying a sugar high, the kids decided to play some more...this time it was slide down the stairs and dog pile on one another.
Too much fun! Then it was time to wind down with a movie...of course, this lasted several hours, and there wasnt much movie watching but lots of giggling, and even some emotional melt downs. Several of which Jordyn had...but i think it was due to being over tired from the overnight she had at grandma and grandpas the night before. Being the youngest of the bunch, and new to sleepovers, that could have been part of the reason too...so i was glad i could be there for her...but then again, several of them were getting a little punchy...so we had to put our foot down and make it "lights out" for the girls. Besides, all their chaos was interrupting our "mom" fun :)
It was a great weekend though, and i think all the kids had a good time!
