First attempt at a real sleep over Sept 2011

The night that laurel had lost her tooth she had been invited to her first real sleep oveer,not just at sister or brothers house but with her friends from the gym for a birthday party. She was not sure she wanted to go,at least not spend the night. I had told her that was fine,go for the party and i will pick you at at bedtime,as others were not staying the noight either. Off she went and i checkined in now and again with the very brave mom doing this party all by herself. All seemed fine. COme near to bedtime,or what should have been bed time i called and the monm said she seems fine,she doesnt know for sure still if she wants to stay so i will call you if she needs you. PErfect,Stan at work so Zak and i went to bed.  At midnight,the call came.....she was ready to come home. lol lol

so Zak and i got up and out and into the car to this family home in a gated community out oin nowhere so of course i got lost......long story short,finally about 1am we get to her. All the other kids who are still there are running around and come to the door to say good by to Laurel. LOL LOL poor mom....she can harldey keep her eyes open. We went home and i had a very tired and crabby kid for hours to come. Next day she fell asleep but when i had to wake her to go to a 4pm appreciation dinner,she wouldnt hear of it. more tired and crabby. i have attached pics here. one of her napping mid afternoon with her gymnaswtics trophy under her arm and one of what we call "hang over asian Barbie" when trying to get her dressed and going to this dinner. ENJOY...the other kids at the party all settled down finally at 3am.....Laurel was NOT the only tired and crabby kids the next day>>>>>
