A couple of weekends ago, we had the girls from Alexa's class over to our house for a Half Sleepover Birthday Party to celebrate Alexa's 5th birthday. The idea of the half sleepover was that everyone would come in their PJ's, bring a sleeping bag - and we'd do fun things that you do at a sleepover, but everyone gets picked up at before the sleeping part!
First, all the girls decorated pillow cases with fabric markers, and signed Alexa's pillowcase.
Once they had finished with their pillowcases, they got in line to get their nails painted. Sarah, our next door neighbor who is 13, helped me with the party. Between her and Ginny, they painted all the girls in bright fun colors!
Then it was off to the basement for some fun sleepover games.
I divided the kids up into two teams and we had a fun sleeping bag relay race. Each child had to run to the sleeping bag, crawl in, snore 3 times, wake up - pretend to brush their teeth and wash their face, "eat" breakfast, and then run back and hand the baton to the next person in line. It was chaotic, fast, and fun!
Next game: Pass the Stinky Slippers, aka Hot Potato.
It was very cute when everyone crawled into their sleeping bags - we played a game where everyone had to pretend to sleep and dream of doing something in their sleep, like riding a bike, or pretending to be a monkey, or playing the violin.
Alexa had SUCH a blast at her party!
