Friday night there will be a slumber party at my house w/ 12 little girls

[Bouncy Ball]

Should I just put the plastic bag over my head now?

Why did I agree to this?

My daughter's birthday, she's turning 11. I really didn't think they'd ALL RSVP yes, but they ALL did.

Pizza, movies, cake, ice cream, presents and screaming girls all night.

I'm already hiding breakable objects.

What else should I do?

[thedailyshow]

1. Buy yourself a pair of earplugs

and hide in your room, and blissfully watch TV, and only come out during feeding time and at the curfew time to see if they're in bed.

[Bouncy Ball]

7. I'm a little afraid to just

leave them with no supervision at all, as much as I would love to do that. Hey check your PM in a second.

[thedailyshow]

16. hey, quick bright idea here

Instead of being worried about having 12 pre-teen girls in your house, why don't you join the fun? Do some cool stuff like saying, "The rules of your parents do not exist here!" and tell them that they can stay up until 2, and rent their favorite movies.

Also, ask them if they'd like to help you make Christmas sugar cookies, that way they get to try their hand at decorating cookies, and at the same time, you've got willing slave labor to do those cookies that you've been meaning to give out to the neighbors.

24. Oh there will be no sleeping

and if you knew me in real life you'd know I am truly a big kid. I think it's just the CONCEPT of so many 11 year old girls at once, ya know? LOL!

[tigereye]

38. oh girls that age won't be going to bed

we never did.. until the dawn's early light... :)

[Worst Username Ever]

2. Sleeping pills. For you, I mean.

[iconoclastic cat]

5. And vodka! Also for him.

For the little monsters: Mad Libs! That'll keep 'em busy until they decide to start dailing random phone numbers.

[AlCzervik]

3. Bartender! Antihistamines all around!

[iconoclastic cat]

12. No, it could backfire.

As a child, antihistamines gave me insomnia.

[RubyDuby in GA]

4. Big big big bottle of liquor

That's all I'm gonna say.....

:)

[iconoclastic cat]

6. Why not just push the envelope and rent 6 really, really scary flicks.

And some Jolt Cola. They'll burn out and have a massive sugar/caffine-crash by 11PM.

[Bouncy Ball]

8. Now THAT made me laugh just imagining it!!!

[iconoclastic cat]

11. I'm dead serious: Fight crazy with crazy.

[Bouncy Ball]

32. It's the only way!

[tigereye]

39. we watched horror movies at one I went to

a million years ago. We watched the Creature from the Black Lagoon and has seances, Ouija board and levitation. It was the 60s after all.

[matcom]

9. can i come over TOO??

:evilgrin:

:spank: Matcom :spank:

[Bouncy Ball]

19. BAD boy!

[Ima]

10. well

you might consider hiring a 'babysitter' and getting out of dodge.


Plan activities that will tire the girls out, you may luck out and get some sleep.

[shraby]

13. Why do they call them "slumber" parties?????

Nobody ever sleeps at them.

[The empressof all]

36. Seriously --This is a great idea

When my daughter had her 11th birthday we had 12 girls sleep over. I hired two 16 year old girls (children of my friends) to come over and tire them out. They did "make overs", did a scavenger hunt, served and cleaned up the Pizza and junk food. They left around midnight and by that time the girls were in sleeping bags on the floor watching Beauty and the Beast in a sugar induced stupor. At that point all I needed to do was do periodic welfare checks.

I worked in the office while the "party" was going on and got a long bath in. It was really manageable with the help.

Now that my daughters 14 we have fewer sleep-overs.

[CornField]

14. Head to the store

And buy one of those big, cheap-o make-up kits -- 50 different shades of eyeshadow... 25 different colors of lipstick. Also buy a big jar of Noxema (or some other make-up remover). Let them spend a couple of hours giving each other make-overs.

I also unpacked all my beads and wire so the girls could make necklaces, earrings, bracelets and book thongs.

Maybe rent some old, sappy, teen flicks? Grease... Pretty in Pink... 16 Candles... etc. I know my 12-year-old and her friends love it when I rent them one of those movies. (They adore Molly Ringwald -- and like to make fun of the way we dressed like the young Madonna. BTW, isn't it sad that they only remember the cone-boobies, girl-kissing Madonna?)

Buy extra Kleenex. There always seems to be that one girl who gets all flustered about something.

Enjoy!

17. Great ideas!

That would have worked for my slumber parties. :)

[Bouncy Ball]

23. Those are fantastic ideas, thank you so much!

[n2mark]

15. Seriously

You may want to set ground rules. What is acceptable and not acceptable in your home.

[Bouncy Ball]

20. Oh don't worry

we have no problems with that. But we've known these girls for years and they're all great. Just never had this many at a time before. The entire living room will be wall to wall sleeping bags.

[short bus president]

18. No prollum.

Invite over 12 11-yr-old boys, play some tunes, and call it a dance. They'll all just stand up against the wall all night feeling uncomfortable.

[CornField]

21. LOL - ain't that the truth!

[JimmyJazz]

22. And here I thought you were going to post something perverted!

That's absolutely brilliant!

[Cuban_Liberal]

25. Valium---- MASSIVE doses of Valium!

;)

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

26. Get a Gorilla suit

Run in and go crazy once they shut off the lights. They will all be calling their mommies to pick them up.

[Bouncy Ball]

29. Oh man, you are cruel!

LOL

[Scrooge]

27. oooh ooooh

Can I come too? I LOVE pillow fights and its been about 5 years since I last kicked butt in a pillow fight!! Feather pillows are the best!! Have fun!

[Bouncy Ball]

30. Ah all we have are synthetic pillows and I think I am

going to discourage pillow fights as lamps tend to get broken.

But otherwise sounds like fun!

[MissMillie]

28. see the doctor tomorrow

I think a script for valium is in order.

[Bouncy Ball]

31. THAT would be nice!

LOL!

[DrWeird]

33. Just play...

Who Wants to Chug the NyQuil?!

[donheld]

34. better you than me

i'd go :crazy:

[stupid grin]

35. Oh..I'm having flashbacks of chips, dip, carrot cake and Dirty Dancing...

to be 12 again. Slumber parties were the best ever.

[gollygee]

37. HAHAHAHAHA

I don't mean to laugh at you . . . :D

Get a lot of rest the night before because you won't get much that night!
