Our children (even the man child) get their first multi-person slumber party/sleepover party for their 10th birthday party. The first one we did I had decided that there would be no rules about sleep and bedtime, and we were staying in a guest house at one of my friends' (our house was TINY, and there was no way we could get 5 little girls and all of their things in one place for them to sleep) so they didn't even have to be all that quiet. I did tell them though, that once myself or any one of the girls fell asleep they had to bring the decibel level down to a gentle whisper. Needless to say, there was everything but slumbering going on at that party!!!!! I learned my lesson. From that day forward, whenever we had sleepovers, I make sure to tell the parents of the children that there will be a "reasonable" bedtime (generally dressed in jammies/teeth brushed by 10, and lights and movies out/off by 11, all quiet by midnight), and I ask them to convey that to the children before they come over. And I ask if their child is having problems sleeping (read into this please :)) if it is alright to call them. So the child knows ahead of time, that if they are coming here for a sleepover, that if they do not follow the rules (please understand I am not a drill sargeant, I was a little girl once too and remember the fun of giggling and playing with my girlfriends at sleepovers) their parents will be called. You know, I've NEVER had to call a parent that the child didn't ask me to call because they weren't feeling well, or they weren't able to sleep. The amazing thing is, these kids (who I know normally are in bed by 9 and have to be drug out of bed at 7 to get ready for school) don't fall asleep until midnight or after, and they are ALWAYS up by 6 when we have sleepovers! It always amazes me! :)<BR/><BR/>Praying that you have caught up on your sleep and that you will see this as a learning opportunity, and next time will have some guidelines in place with the permission to call parents of children that are not following those guidelines.....it works for me. <BR/><BR/>Blessings dear one!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-5548682010237691192008-01-08T04:29:00.000-06:002008-01-08T04:29:00.000-06:00every night is a sleep over here -.-i love you san...every night is a sleep over here -.-<BR/><BR/>i love you sandra, i'm glad you survived!Jillinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13626511940728714371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-9707370062303370902008-01-07T21:46:00.000-06:002008-01-07T21:46:00.000-06:00Thanks for stopping by my flower blog ... and for ...Thanks for stopping by my flower blog ... and for adding it to your blog roll !

I nicely tucked in Halle and Shaelyn at 9:00. We hear talking in the other room. Multiple times we go in and tell them to stop talking and go to sleep. It's now 10:00- Mark and I go to our room to watch just a little tv before falling asleep. We hear more talking next door. A few more times we tell them to stop talking. Finally, we don't hear talking but we hear moving around. I said to Mark- do I say anything or just let them be and hope they fall asleep soon- yes, let them be he says. 11:00 our door opens up and in comes Halle all proud of herself "We just got done cleaning my room mom!"<BR/>AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH - they did finally fall asleep and woke up promptly at 7:00 in the morning!Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350979855715095268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-29701845519403397302008-01-07T15:00:00.000-06:002008-01-07T15:00:00.000-06:00That doesn't sound like a very good night!
