I am that Mom.. that mom that has the parties, sleepovers and always has good candy. Today Kate shared her soccer team 12th birthday party with Samara. Well, I can honestly say we highjacked it. Lianne, Samaras mom sent out the birthday invitation, planned the party and then I asked if we could combine the parties, so a movie and sleepover and here I am at 1:00 am with a basement full of girls playing truth or dare. I am not sure why they call it a sleepover, as no one sleeps, and why is there so much banging? As we grow into adults, unless it is absolutely necessary we never sleep anywhere but our own beds. As the night carries on, I will be down at least 3 times to tell them to be quiet, offer my form of discipline which generally is some form of cleaning.. toilets always seem to work. This is childhood, we all have memories of staying up all night, and we all wish we could get back to this time in our life when it all seemed so simple. To the courage soccer girls in my basement, the only worry they have is not to be the first person who falls asleep, as your photo might be posted on face-book. Times have changed, but kid fun is still just fun. Just not fun for the mom.
