Girl's Night In

Friday night The boys including Grandad went on the Father and son campout. Now that my kids are mostly older the time has come to start our own tradition of a Girl's night in. The girls meaning 5 kids, me and Jeff''s Mom. I know this sounds weird, but I was kind of nervous because I wanted it to be a hit and I'm not really into fingernail polish or hair as you all know. I do plenty of hair without any excuses.

Each kid chose their favorite party food and I added dips, salsa and frappe. Jeff''s mom contributed the rest and we had quite the spread.
The big girls rearranged my bedroom with the bed in the corner 3 more comfy chairs and a mini couch in front of the bed. My room is the favorite for movies and has the TV gaurdian. We also had the food in my room. It wasn't a bedroom anymore. We gathered all the chick flicks we could find in the house, filled our plates and stuffed our faces while watching a movie.

 

 

Then came the games. We played a roll the dice game to decide which color ended up on which finger. The colors were numbered 1-6. I was the only one who ended up with the navy blue on one finger. We had to wear the polish for one day. I was allowed to take it off a little early since I was singing in the choir for conference. Toes were next. Then Olivia just kept piling more and more polish on her fingers, not just the nails.

Then we each drew a name out of a bag and gave that girl a makeover, while we watched another movie in the Girl's Night Room. We let Mom off the hook, and had her wear a random wig, but the rest were done with care.

Kate did Natalie and Olivia. Natalie did me. Anna and Kris did each other and I did Kate. Our party ended at 12:17am. It went fast and was really fun. I couldn't quite get to sleep until 1:00am. It could be because some kids opted to sleep in my bed or room. Grammy did go home to sleep in her own bed. What I want to know is if anyone has any ideas for next time. I'm really not that creative. I'm all about the food.
