Slumber parties are invariably chaotic. It is very exciting to have extra people in the house. It is even more exciting when they bring piles of candy with them. No one got to bed on time last night. The chaos this morning was much more subdued, but it still did not resemble normal. The last of Kiki’s friends just went home and I have declared an hour of quiet time. Gleek and Patches particularly need it even though they don’t want it. I don’t know that any of them will actually fall asleep and nap, but at least this way I am providing the space for them to do so. This hour of quiet time is something I’m going to have to do much more often as we head into summer. Otherwise we get cranky with everyone home all day long.
