Jasmine's Sleepover Success

So Jasmine had a sleepover for her birthday with a total of 9 girls in the house. What you saw in the video was pretty much what the night consisted of. TOTAL CHAOS! There was music, dancing, karaoke, movies, cheese cake, 3 pizzas, a meat and cheese tray and I must report that we have about 30 pieces of Halloween candy left. It was really cool for Jasmine to actually have a friend sleepover. We have had cousins and a couple of friends and one of the times there was 13 kids but I must say that nothing compares to having 9 girls in the house. Sometimes they do not all get along. I think I had to defuse about 6 different situations where different girls at different times were feeling left out, but we survived. Jasmine and 2 other of her friends stayed up ALL night and let me just say they do not have "inside" voices. I think it was about 4 o'clock in the morning when I decided I was done with the insanity, that and the fact that they woke up Kennedy. Screaming, laughing, running....I thought it might never end. They pulled the usual sleepover pranks where they drew on each other as they dozed off, one girl got toothpasted, which I was not so happy about since it did end up on my carpet but the funniest thing is that they all WILLINGLY soaked their bras and froze them, and yes a few of them actually put them on in the morning. I did warn Darren not to open the freezer in the morning just to spare his sanity. So, about 8 o'clock in the morning when Darren and I came out of the room, we made our way to the surround sound and turned on the tunes, really loud and wished everyone a GOOD MORNING! Darren made pancakes, bacon and sausage links while we all watched The Strangers, which I must say was a totally freakingly scary movie. It was a blast though and we will probably do it again even though at about 4 that morning I swore to Darren that we never would again. Oh and poor Darren ! After we watched the scary movie a few of the girls had a hard time going to rooms alone to get dressed, which I am all too familiar with, so I look up in the kitchen and one of the girls is standing there in her undies. I said, you're naked and about that time Darren hung his face into his hands and was like, what in the, and waited for clearance to lift his head. That was just one of the 3 mishaps of the sleepover that he was unfortunate enough to witness. If you could have only seen his face, it was too funny! He is a really good sport though and we love and cherish him. He is by far my favorite person on this planet.

Now moving on to my new look on the blog. I am one of those people who are annoyed with the fact that Thanksgiving isn't over and already Christmas takes over, but I figured I would go ahead and change my background while it was fresh on the brain which also led me to add some Christmas music and some hymns that I love and not to mention some of my favorite songs from the Sister Act movies. So don't hate me for doing it so early, like I said the mood struck me.

We will be going to Pigeon Forge this Saturday so that Jasmine can sing with Celebration Show Choir, an activity that suits her well since she can sing her little butt off. They will be singing at The Christmas Place, a very popular attraction up or down there which ever direction it may be. She has a solo and is very excited about it. Who knows maybe we will get to see Dolly, that would blow my mind. Well, that's all I've got!
