Stay Up Over

On Friday, I let the boys invite some friends for a sleepover. Except... there was not much sleeping going on.

2:05 pm - Pick up 7 boys (yes, SEVEN) from school; the aide calling into the 2-way radio in the pick-up line called their names, "Cole, Dylan, Beck, Braxton, Cam, Tate, Hetcher, and this mom is going to need some alcohol."  No doubt, Mrs. Tollett. No doubt. 

2:30 pm - Quick stop at the park to kill half an hour before the trampoline park opens

3:00 - take 7 boys to iJump trampoline park and iNinja obstacle course 

4:00 pm - head back to the house for swimming, playing, and pizza

4:02 pm - Tate's little friend, Hetcher, vomits in my {new} car

4:05 pm - pull over at a gas station, clean out the car, help poor Hetcher as he gets sick again, look up to see three of the other boys who have jumped out of the car and are running around BAREFOOT in the gas station parking lot fake gagging 

4:15 pm - Drop Hetcher at his house

4:45 pm - Drag the remaining six boys into the laundry room to wash their hands and change into swim trunks so they can jump in the pool and wash away germs, empty three backpacks covered in vomit and start the wash

5:00 pm - discover the hot tub heater isn't working properly; tell boys they have to swim in cold pool 

5:45 pm - video football tricks

6:15 pm - football on the lawn with Mike

7:00 pm - after four pizzas, two orders of cheese bread, half a dozen Gatorades, a dozen cupcakes, and a dozen cookies, make a hallway Ninja Warrior course for the boys

 

7:03 pm - clean up crepe paper now scattered all over the house

7:30 pm - Night swim with only one slightly-serious injury 

8:00 pm - Inside to decorate and sign pillowcases (I missed a photo of this, but half the boys got autographs on their pillowcase, Tate wrote the alphabet in upper and lower case letters on his, and two boys wrote the names of girls they like - O.M.Gosh, they are too young!! Glad this wasn't Cole.)

8:30 pm - Movie

10:30 pm - Upstairs for bed

11:00  pm - Upstairs to tell screaming boys jumping on the beds like monkeys to go to sleep!

11:30 pm - Upstairs to tell screaming boys jumping on the beds like monkeys that I mean it this time!

12:30 pm - Upstairs to clean up 150 live mealworms that they have dumped over IN Cole's bed in a prank-gone-horribly-wrong

5:00 am - up to let barking dog outside

7:00 am - up with six screaming boys

7:30 am - said boys are in the pool!

7:31 am - vow to never, ever, ever do this again... until next time ;)
