Once again I've caved in to hosting a sleepover for my son and his friends. Three 11 year olds and a 8.5 year old have taken over the house and I've retreated to my room to blog. It's safe and quiet in here away from the maelstrom out there!
So this is what I have in store no doubt:
1.) Endless potty jokes and the fart machine for added bonus (why did I buy my son this? Lapse in good judgement... probably had to do with lots of wine!).
2.) The pantry will be scavenged, rampaged, depleted all night long! All drinks, food wrappers, crumbs, etc. will be left throughout the house.
3.) Pillows, cushions, blankets will be thrown about, bounced on, used as projectiles and for hitting friends on the head.
4.) There will be running, rough housing, shouting and all out boisterous shenanigans.
5.) They will traverse the up and down the stairs, in and out of the house, in and out of the refrigerator 50 million times.
6.) Video games and movies are on the agenda til all hours!
7.) I will pass out LONG before these BOYS ever do!
But truth be told, it's all great. They are happy and having fun and making memories. That is what being a kid is all about. So I'll just suck it up, smile and drink some more wine!
Hope you survived! The boys will remember this always, that's what's important.
