Do they EVER go to sleep?

[Maddy McCall]

They are playing "Fu Man Chu Sumo Wrestler" right now. They have the bean bag chairs, using them for bellies, running and crashing into each other.

Tell me that they will eventually play out and go to sleep.

(ten year old sleepover.)

that is exactly why we don't do sleepovers -- I took them out to an ice rink (hockey) on the last birthday. I figured it would tire them out and I didn't have a mess to contend with. I feel your pain :hi:

9. It seems to get progressively louder and rougher as the night...

progresses.

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. ROTFL!

I miss the days of sleepovers... though, actually, even in my late 30s, some of my friends and I still have sleepovers.

We don't do the physical play around stuff any more, but we still do stupid stuff. Like drink too much, watch Python, watch Vicar of Dibley, smoke pipes (just tobacco) and have loud conversation.

Ah, the joys of young person sleepovers and silly games.

Good for you for hosting!!

A house with laughter and fun is a house that wil endure forever and raise children who will be amazing and wondrous human beings.

your kids are lucky to have you, and that you aren't telling them to quit!

They'll fall asleep sometime around breakfast.

8. We've got to get up and be going by 8 tomorrow...

It's 1:30 here now. They aren't going to like me very much tomorrow. :-)

3. Did you forget to pick up the tranquilizer gun ?

you really need to be better prepared for these things

[Maddy McCall]

4. No trank gun, but I have some benadryl...

Does that count? :-)

[Spinzonner]

12. I guess maybe you can dip the lawn darts in it

5. Have them bob for apples in cherry Nyquil. (nt)

[Maddy McCall]

11. LOL!

[Dogmudgeon]

6. It's easy to quiet them down

From now on, make them co-ed sleep-overs.

Oh, they'll get real quiet. Just the occasional giggle and sigh. And you'll be able to get a good night's sleep!

13. Don't you know, girls are the devil?

You should have heard them talking about "little miss perfect" tonight. :-)

7. too funny

I had a similar evening -- kids all wound up on birthday cake tonight

[Maddy McCall]

14. I think I am going to go take a couple of benadryls...

and then wake up tomorrow when it's over. :toast: ;)

10. Now they are having a Slim Jim sword fight...

Gotta give them points for creativity, I guess. :-)
