Evie's first sleepover at our house!



Evie's friend, Brooklyn spent the day and night with us last night. The girls had a great time!


While they were playing in Evie's room I set up a beauty salon in the kitchen. I made a chart with prices and nail polish colors and designs for them to choose from and gave them each a baggie of Monopoly money to spend.



They each paid to have their nails polished and designs on them, beads in their hair, (Brook also got a braid), and I gave them free makeup removal, (from the mess that they did on themselves while hidden away in Evie's room), and strawberry facials (lotion) :o) Then they made bracelets while they were waiting their turn.
Afterwards they paid $5 for a movie and $2 for popcorn. Each girl still had money left over and they were excited about it!

Then it was off to bed! They fell asleep at about 8:45 with no problems.. the sweetest part was when they were almost asleep and Brooklyn turns over to Evie and says, "I'm so glad that we did this". Evie's reply was , "me too".

This morning they were up at 5 am! I had to keep reminding them that it was too early to be awake.. they had to stay in bed but they could talk if it were in a whisper.. it rose above a whisper quite a few times and I had to do the "shhhh!" sound.


For breakfast (at 6:30 am, they said that they were STARVING!) I made different shaped pancakes for them to decorate with maple and blueberry syrups, fruit and different colored sprinkles. Evan enjoyed those too!
We are hoping for good weather today although they are calling for thunderstorms.. we'd like to get to the pool! (Also, Evan has had a fever so I'm not sure that will happen anyway)
Keeping our fingers crossed on that one although the skies don't look too promising yet!
