My oldest baby basset had a sleepover last night, and it was just about the easiest thing I have ever done. I hadn’t planned it, but it is a bit of a makeup birthday party for the party when everyone got food poisoning from the cake and had to go home. Last nights party could not have been more perfect. We had all spent the day at the Dicken’s Fair, so when we got to my house all they wanted to do was chill out and play video games. No clowns, no party games, and with all the junk food they have had over the last few days, no cake. Heck! They are even at the age when all they want is their parents out of the room, and to be left alone to do their thing. I did nothing and got the number one mom of the year award. This is a huge change from the days when I spent weeks planning the perfect homemade birthday party with life size decorations of cartoon characters and multiple Pinterest worthy party games. This morning I am going to get them donuts and let them do their thing until their parents come. Easy Peasy!!
