Gwyneth had a mock sleepover Saturday night — we picked her up at 9:00 and she went to sleep peacefully in her own bed. She challenged to me to a game of checkerss the next morning. Don’t be fooled — she’s good. I didn’t let her win, I’m not that kind of momma, but she gave me a good run and now she is determined to beat me. Game on, girlie. Game on!

Annabelle had a sleepover the night before with 20 other girls for her friend Ava’s birthday. 20 second grade girls! Wow. Ava’s parents are amazing. This sleepover was the “no sleep” kind. Annabelle managed to stay up the entire night. There was a little girl who threw up around midnight and lots of other excitement. She was really proud of herself. Annabelle promptly came home and fell right to sleep. She slept a few hours and was still asking for her bed at 7:30 tonight. Those sleepovers can really wear a little girl out! 

While B and Gwyneth practiced riding bikes Annabelle and I went to the movies. Poor girl was just so worn out. She enjoyed the movie and we had a great day together. She was just so darn tired.
