Next time -- just shoot me!

The spa party is still in full swing at 5:20am. They are chatting. They are giggling. They are having a wonderful time.

The girls arrived at 6.
We served pizza and soda for dinner. Then they took off to play in the creek. At 7, I called them back up to the house to wash up so that they could do their makeup thing with The Mary Kay Lady. The girls needed some drying off so we did our bath salt thing then. It was great and they loved it!

From there we headed inside to get facials. They had a wonderful time doing makeup and asking questions. They were terrific!! And, they looked lovely when they were done.

While the MKLady was cleaning up, we did cupcakes. We then went outside to try to light the fire for s'mores. The fire didn't light so we came in and made them in the microwave. 12 marshmallows - 15 seconds - perfect s'more material!!

They changed into pajamas and headed out for some flashlight tag. This was at 11:30. Yes, it was late, but I was happy to be able to pick up my kitchen. A couple of them stayed in and watched Disney until 11:30 when I told the girls it was bed time. They headed for their tents.

At 12, I headed up to my room... My room has a window that is right above their tents... At 1, I went back down and told them to get to sleep. At 4, I got up to use the facilities and they were still giggling... Mr. got up at 4:40 and they were still talking. They are going to be totally useless today.

When Mr. was about to leave at 5, I came down. They are still chatting... the tents are still wobbling. They will probably fall asleep at 6. They are getting up at 7 because some of them have to leave at 8.

LLB is off to the water park with one of the girls today. I certainly hope she got some sleep...

Needless to say:
I will enjoy waking them up...

I will enjoy making their breakfast...

I will enjoy sending them home...

I will enjoy my mid-morning nap.
