Sleepovers

What do you remember most of your childhood summer vacations? For most people it was vacations or special times with friends. We haven't gone on a vacation this summer, so friends have played an important role. As a kid we moved almost every summer, so I did not have the same friends for years on end until I reached high school. Katherine has been to some sleepovers in the past and had a few sleepovers in the past, but they were not the same. The sleepover is the magical place that you can escape with your friend and create your own journey. A sleepover is not a place your children stay while you are out of town, it is a place where you want to be. Since springtime Katherine has had friends from school, friends from GAC and friends in the neighborhood spend the night. She normally likes to have friends stay here, but she is growing more increasingly fond of staying at their house. Ethan is now starting to learn the power of a sleepover. In the end of June one of Ethan's friends, Eve, slept over for a few nights. Of course Eve is here from Hawaii while her grandpa continues to recover in the hospital. Although, they needed someone to keep Eve, there are several places that wanted here. Ethan and Katherine enjoyed the time together and keep asking when she will be back. Ethan went to sleepover at a freind's house down the street. While Ethan stayed at Alex's, Alex's sister, Brooke stayed here. The girls had a wedding with one the American Girl dolls and the boys had a funeral for baby Ethan. Ethan had a blast and realized it was his first sleepover without Katherine except for at the Kilmartin's house. My kids are growing up.
