It's Party Time!!

That's right it's PARTY TIME!! Baylee has been planning her High School Musical Party since last year. We didn't let the girls have parties last year because they got their swing set instead (although they really didn't get it until a couple of months ago because we were trying to get the backyard finished). So since March Baylee has been planning the food, games, prizes, friends to invite, and even the PJ's.

We found a great deal on these cute HSM PJ's--$2.00 a set, can't beat that! We had 11 girls running around in their cute PJ's.
We started the night making little pizza's and playing in the backyard. About a half an hour into the party I started wondering what was I thinking letting Baylee have 11 friends over for a sleepover. It was total craziness. Pizza sauce EVERYWHERE and lots of high pitched giggles and screams. Dan and I looked at each other and said it's going to be a long night. These girls were so excited for the sleepover. You could just feel the energy in the air. I just wanted a cute "normal" picture of them but it took a few shots to get one. It was hard to get them to smile for a normal picture, they wanted to be silly.
After cleaning up pizza sauce, we managed to get them to settle down a bit and play some HSM games. Baylee planned all the games and even helped me put them together. We played Wildcats Basketball (throwing paper balls into a laundry basket), High School Musical Walk (like a cake walk), Wildcats Bingo, and HSM Trivia. Again lots of giggles and screams. They ended up having a screaming contest to see who could scream the loudest. The dogs in the neighborhood all started barking because they were so high pitched and loud. They wanted to stay outside all night, finally at 10:00 we made them come in.

Then it was Baylee's favorite time-time to open presents. She got some fun gifts. Her friends spoil her!
You can't have a party without cake, however my girls like donut cakes better, especially when the donuts are from Dunford Donuts. Yummy!!

We finally sent them upstairs to make their beds and to try to settle them down (it was almost midnight). I turned on HSM 1 for them to watch. Some of them watched while others played in the toy room. As soon as HSM 1 was over they quickly put in the 2nd one. At 2:00 AM I went back upstairs to tuck them all in bed and turn the lights out and told them they had to go to sleep. Lets just say I ended up going back upstairs 4 more times before most of them were asleep.

Morning quickly came and I thought they would at least sleep in a little, but no they were wide awake by 7:00 AM and watching HSM 3. It was High School Musical marathon here. We had blueberry pancakes, eggs and bacon with Sharpay Smoothies for breakfast. It was finally 10:00 AM and time to go home. Baylee said her party went by too fast, for me not fast enough. We had fun but I don't think we will have anymore sleepovers until Brinley turns 8. That gives me a few years to prepare!
