Buddy Sleepover

The Blue-Gold game has come and gone but the memories and the fun continue.  Kayla's buddies continue to amaze me.  They still want to spend time with her weekly {even if she is just a tad bossy around them}.  This week's event was their Buddy Sleepover!  Yes...recent high school graduates came, hung out and spent the night on the floor with Kayla...and she was beyond excited!

This was Kayla's first official sleepover...

Let me just say...I am not exactly sure where the term "sleepover" came from...but to the man that coined that phrase {yes, I know it was a man}...you were wrong.  No sleeping occurs at a sleep over.  Not even a sleep over with a six year old!  There is pizza and movies and popcorn and ice cream sundaes...but trust me...there is no sleep.  Especially for this Momma.  While Kayla's buddy's attempted to get her to lay down before midnight, she fell asleep after 2:00 in the morning!  Yes...you read that right, 2am!  Unbelievable.  I guess she truly is my kid...afraid she is going to miss something I suppose!  And she still has the circles under her eyes to prove it!

I didn't take too many pictures, as I tried to stay out of her way and respect her time with her friends...yes, that was very hard for me to do...but I managed!

Oh...and what makes this sleepover even more memorable?  A visit by the police at 7:30am!  I mean seriously...if her "parties" are being busted when she is six...what will it be like when she is 16?  Just sayin'...

Actually the cops showed up because my neighbors claimed they couldn't get out of their driveway and needed the girls to move their car.  Awesome neighbors, I know.  I guess knocking on my door was too much trouble for them...

Anyway...the party proceeded into the day and didn't end until the afternoon.  It was almost a full 24 hours of non-stop fun.  Kayla is truly one lucky little girl to be surrounded by so much love!  In a world where differences separate people daily, Kayla's buddies see past the differences and just see her for who she is...an energetic, happy, loving, six-year-old little girl...nothing could be greater...
