All-girl sleepover happening downstairs right now
The younger kid just turned seven. She's got about twelve friends downstairs ... wait, now there's a couple upstairs. Good God, they make more noise on the stairs than ... than a noisy thing, I don't know, but they're loud.
At least they stopped telling scary stories. They were screaming. A lot. Actually I don't think they ever got the the stories, someone said, "Let's tell scary stories!" and the screaming started and didn't stop for a good ten minutes.
I don't think any of them know about "inside voice". There are a couple of them who clearly have never been told to do something, because they had no clue how to respond when I tried it. Everyone come upstairs. "Why?" WTF? 'Cause I'm the adult, and I told you to, and how about it's my damn house so ... [grumble grumble kids these days ...]

That's pretty funny
My 11 yo daughter was at birthday sleep over last night. She couldnt stand all the screaming and silliness and called me to come get her. Yes, she was the cryer in the group. I had just gotten out of the shower and drove over there with my wet hair, in jammies and slippers.
Grrrr.

Been there too!
In 10+ years, those will be some of the fond memories...
At least they are for me.

Caffeine just starting to kick in
I was up until almost 4:30. There are some parents going to be dealing with cranky kids today.
Oh, and by the way ... Pixy Stix at 11:30 p.m.? Not a good plan.

Irony.
Some friends of mine were talking about sleepovers and the lack thereof in the current youth group program at church. The reasoning wasn't clear but I think the current leader is concerned about her duty of care.
But the Boys Club, which is a separate program, does one at least once a year. However, the leader of the Boys Club has been running it for quite some years and knows how to a) stay in authority and b) tire them out reasonably early in the night. :-)
