Mother Daughter Sleepover
One of the things I love most about the church we attend is that the members there really have a heart for children and family. We are a small church, but we have Awanas and during the year do a lot of things with our youngsters in mind. Our Pastor started a father/son campout and the boys and dads love it. They go camp near a creek in tents and fish and swim and spend time together.
Well, of course us moms and daughters didn't want to be left out, so we started the Mother/Daughter sleepover. We didn't want to go camping, so we spent the night at the church. We had so much fun.
We ate pizza for dinner.
We made scarecrows and turkeys from little flower pots...well, we tried to. The project called for tacky glue. Either we had bad tacky glue or it needed hot glue.
We painted pumpkin picture frames (and yes, the moms joined in all the fun!)
We carved pumpkins.
We made cookies, played bingo,and put on make-up.
Even the youngest daughters joined in.
And one mom went above and beyond the call of being a good sport by letting the girls paint her face.
We all got snuggled in and watched The Great Pumpkin before going to sleep.
In the morning we woke up and had coffee, milk, and cinnamon rolls before packing up, cleaning up and heading home about 9 a.m. It was a wonderful time!
this is really fun!

So what do the people with many daughters do? With 5, I can practically have the party with just our family! Seriously, did some Moms bring more than one daughter? or did they pick one of the crew and attend with them?
