Grace’s First Sleep Over...

Grace’s friend Macey (7) had a birthday party sleep over the weekend before but Grace was getting over the flu and it was outside, so just asking for trouble. So since we didn’t let Grace go we told Grace to make up for it she could have Macey over to our house, not as good as going but a nice second place. Macey came around 5:00 p.m. and the girls – Eva included had a great time! They played dress up, house, barbies, babies, oh my – not even sure what else. I didn’t even see them again until at least 6:30 p.m. when the pizza arrived. It was so funny b/c my little 5 year old who hardly eats anything had to try and match Macey slice for slice! Every time Macey said she’d like more, Grace would chime in and said she did too! We finally started cutting Grace’s smaller. I thought for sure they would be sick, but apparently not, they just turned into a boys football team while playing dress up. After that they danced to Hannah Montana on the wii and did gymnastics.

I was worried about having Macey but she was so well behaved if I could have sent anyone home it would have been Grace! Every once in a while you would hear, Eva say, “Mommy Gracie has such-and-such, or Gracie’s doing such-and-such” and when I would tell Grace we don’t do that she would be like “O-K”. I’m sure soon they will tell Eva you can’t play w/ us – my little snitch! But so far so good, the big girls even let Eva sleep on an air mattress in “Grams” room with them, now of course not the same bed as they were in but Eva was still happy – I think the happiness wore off around 2:30 a.m. when she came crying downstairs to sleep w/ me!

Both girls were tired the next day, but Grace tried to blame it on that “trick-er treating stuff”, I was like yeah right – ha!
