family night #3: slumber party...kinda

well, since derek's out of town...we thought we'd have a girls night with a slumber party kinda night (not the "staying up all night" part of it, but a lot of the fun "no rules" stuff). not that i wouldn't make derek participate in this girly stuff if he was here :). we put on our jammies & started the night with a facial mask...
as i said...we didn't have rules to go by tonight, so we had chocolate chip pancakes for dinner (don't worry, i made them eat a healthy protein filled breakfast and lunch to counter-act all the sugar they had tonight...see, i was thinking ahead ! :)
kaia said we're having big cookies for dinner? i heard no complaints!
mmmmmmmmmmmm....
they were all smiles...
then we made pop corn for the movie we watched... (they loved the air popper)!
i love leia's feet in this pic :)
thanks for the new DVD papa & nema...they loved it!
then, for dessert (as if we needed that)...we made banana splits with "banana people" (kaia & leia) having a slumber party...
dig in!
they're NEVER gonna go to sleep tonight (what am i thinking) !


i don't know how many times i've put leia back in bed...i guess it's kinda my fault (oops ;).

you girls are too cute. i love reading about your family nights. what a great idea- i'm sure they will create some of the best family memories. it's awesome you are keeping up with it. i feel like it's something i would be way into for the first couple weeks and then they would fizzle out. you have really fun ideas though.

p.s. does kaia go to school everyday? max goes tues and thurs until 12:30. we'd love to have a play date soon.

hi kris~yes, kaia has school every day (until 12:00)...we'd love to get together soon too. let me know when you're free. btw...for some reason i haven't been able to leave comments on your blog for a while...has anyone else had that problem? i wonder why?
