A Rock n Roll Slumber Party

It was such a joy to have a slumber party for my daughter for her 10th Birthday. She had a total of 5 friends stay over last night. She told me this morning that they did not go to sleep until 2:30am. I landed my head in my comfy bed at 11pm, only to be demanded by my 6mth old daughter for middle of the night feedings 3 times last night.

I made my way downstairs after one of the feedings and found all the girls sleeping side by side; some snoring, some breathing really hard. I made sure they were all warm, and covered them up with another blanket.

Her guests consisted of pre-pubescent girls 9-going on 11 years. They played a water balloon toss game, Twister, Hungry Hippos. They each were given a brand new t-shirt to decorate with fabric paint, and iron on decorations.

When the girls arrived, it was time to make their own pizza. They brushed olive oil over the crust, smoothed pizza sauce on the dough. I added the cheese, and I had them put the toppings of their choosing, and in the end, what a delight to watch them enjoy the their unique creation.

Sunday paper coupons really do come in handy now a days. In one of the Sunday Coupon books, I found a unique recipe that called for strawberry yogurt, fresh strawberries and kiwi, and some homemade brownies. All of these ingredients are layered in parfait glasses. Wow! It was a very delicious treat.

It was really interesting to see and hear my daughter and her slumber mates playing the instruments to PS2 Rock Band. They sure did Rock Out. I stayed out of the rockin' and rollin' until this morning, while the made from scratch Tres Leches Cake was baking. Mmm, another great homemade recipe I concocted for the occasion. Oh, how I love my daughter.

I quickly discovered that they had a whole lot of energy, and we ended up playing Hide and Seek in the Dark at one point last night. I tried my best to participate as they voted me to be " it " and counted to different numbers, the highest being 31. I was so scared to go upstairs and search for them, for fear that I would really scare them. Okay, I feared I would pee in my pants. This game brought the anxiety of hiding so well, as to not be discovered, so that I could make to "home base" when I played hide and seek as a child.

When I woke up, I went straight downstairs to start cleaning, and I made them all eggs, sausage, bacon, toast, and their choice of drink. The house smelled so delicious.

Tres Leches was requested by my daughter, and it was enjoyed by her friends.
