Keven's Birthday Sleepover

So, Keven had a few friends over on Friday night for his birthday sleepover. There was one girl there, Trishana, and she just stayed and partied, but went home later that night. Her parents, Kawika & Thelesa, are good friends of ours and hung out at the party. It was nice to have other adults to hang with while the kids ran up and down the stairs and went all crazy! We made homemade pizza (crust and all) and the kids DEVOURED their pizza. The chose what to put on it (pepperoni, olives & cheese). I was surpised by the olives, but they all wanted it. I enjoyed the one I made for myself (small one) and Ben and Kawika ate up the one Ben made with lots of "icky" stuff! haha! Keven is not a fan of cake or cupcakes, so we did rootbeer floats. All of the kids (and adults) gobbled it up! It was so good and hit the spot. He got more Pokemon cards, money, gift card and CANDY! Just what we needed in this house. The kids stayed up until 2:00am and finally crashed out. They were up at 8:00am and had sausage, eggs and toast for breakfast. They gobbled that down as well. All of them were very tired and one had a football game he had to play that day. All in all it wasn't as bad as I expected, but MAN was it loud! I'm not used to so much noise with having only Keven here. But, there were no fights (like how girls get so caddy at sleepovers) and no disrespecting of Keven or of us. I'm OK knowing that he can't do something like that again for a year or so. My mom said that maybe ONE friend could stay the night on occassion, but we would need to really be watching them.

After the boys ate breakfast, I had to jet out to head to Super Saturday. This is one Saturday a year where the women of our church gather together and make really cute crafts or learn to make certain foods. Many of us use them for Christmas gifts because we are POOR! I made 2 different items, but need to finish them. I'd show them, but I'm giving them as gifts and those people read this! So, you'll have to wait to see it after Christmas. :) I had a wonderful time getting to know a few ladies at church, since I don't get the opportunity while at church to do so, since I'm with the Primary each Sunday. The food was the best EVER! I begged for NO SOUP, because I never eat any that are brought and end up having rolls for lunch. I guess a few others requested no soup, so they had a potato bar and taco salad. MMMMM!! It was fantastic! The Relief Society room was decorated like a little cafe. Very cute. Thanks to the ladies that worked so hard and made it easy for the rest of us!

OK, I'm done for now. Tomorrow is NO school and Ben and I will be in the garage doing mega purging of our stuff. We're hoping to take a load or two to Goodwill and if the dump is open, take a load there. CIAO!
