Girls Sleepover

Last night/this morning was the Mpact girls sleepover at our church.  Being a teacher I was asked to help out with it.  Hannah also went to it as it was for K-6th grades.  We showed up at 6:45 last night and we didn't stop until about 2:00 am this morning.  Then I was up again at 6:30 to help get breakfast ready and the room cleaned up.  Hannah got to "sleep in" until 8:00.  While it was a lot of fun, it was also a long night. 
The theme was Hawaiian Beach Day so the girls got to do lots of crafts and games related to that.


There was flip flop decorating which just happened to be my station


followed by Mani-Pedi's


Frisbee Golf since you can't really play golf at the beach.
The girls were a little confused about how to play the game.


And lots of games with the parachute - always a favorite


They also got to decorate a frame with paint and seashells


Build sandcastles out of cups


This was Hannah's teams sandcastle.  They won the competition for best sandcastle


Then there were pictures with a Hawaiian background



Dinner consisted of hot dogs and chips. Not really a beachy dinner but it was easy



And the most anticipated event of the night.  A trip to the boys bathroom. 



Finally it was time to settle in with popcorn and ice cream to watch a movie. There were more games and crafts such as jewelry making, a limbo competition, book readings, and beach volleyball but being busy with the craft table I didn't always get a chance to snap a picture.



Meanwhile, at home, Robbie spent a quiet evening with the girls and dogs.  He missed all the fun but for some reason he didn't mind.
