One Last Bash

I told the kids a few weeks ago that they could have one last party before we leave Kuna. I told each of them that they could invite a friend over for the night. Each of them knew exactly who they were going to invite. I kind of figured that Austin would struggle with which friend to invite. It ended up that he had a sleep over at Justin Brower's house and his friend, Grant Christensen came with them. They had a Paintball party on Saturday morning at 8 am and they thought it would be best if they all were together to go to the party. I didn't complain. That just meant a few less people at the house.

Friday night they all came around 5 pm and we had Sloppy Joes! YUM!! The kids ate really good and they all complimented me on the food! (They must have been trying for brownie points so they could stay up later!)
Kenzie, Sarah, Madison, Ryann, Kira, (Tren) Braydon.

Tren and Braydon were the cool boys at the party. I think Tren pinched Braydon just as I took the picture!

Grant and Austin stayed for dinner before they headed over to Justin's house.

After dinner, the girls had the idea that they really needed to have a pillow fight. It didn't take long for the boys to get in on the action too. I just gave the boys instructions to take it easy on the girls. No one cried during this pillow fight, which is a rare thing when my kids are involved. They are usually out for blood in a pillow fight.

Mayci couldn't decide if she liked what everyone was doing.

I thought this was a funny one of Ryann. Caught in the action!!

After dinner got cleaned up, the girls really wanted a fort. I willingly said I would help with that since I grew up doing that with my sister! After it was made, I got rave reviews on it! The kids couldn't stop squealing with delight abou how big it as. It took up our entire front room and the girls each had their own little section to sleep in. The boys were jealous that they didn't get something cool like that to sleep in.

Yes, I made them brush their teeth! I looked at thoe 5 girls in the bathroom and just laughed. I can't imagine how our house would be if we had 5 girls. Pretty silly!

What's a party if you don't have a few good movies to watch. The girls watched a Barbie Princess movie. Of course. Then we watched "Mr. Troop Mom". This was the girls at the very first of the movie. It went from funny to gross in about 5 seconds. Girls can be so emotional! Tren and Braydon thought that we pretty funny.

The next morning, we all ate LOTS of Swedish pancakes. More compliments followed that meal. Made my morning. The girls got up at 7 am after going to bed at 11 PM. It took lots of coaxing to get the girls to sleep.

After breakfast they all played for a few hours and then we got pictures of all of the friends before they went home.

Kenzie and Kira. Cute girls.

Madison and Ryann.

Kenzie and Sarah. I never got one of Madison, Ryann and Sarah. I'll have to do that sometime this week.

As the girls were hanging out in the morning, they all kept saying that this was the best party they had ever had. I'm sure it's because they were all hanging out with friends. Life is always better with friends. I'm glad that my kids have had a chance to make the friends that they made while we lived here in Kuna. They will all be- BFFL (as Ryann said all night!)
