sleepover party with the grandies
one bed
all tangled up and diagonal
elbows
knees
arms
splayed
covers on
covers off
cuddlies hugged
socks off
socks on
favorite blankets
one falls out
stays asleep
gets scooped back up
put in the middle
folded into the mix
morning comes
and
we are off!

This was so much fun! I could picture those grandkids all tangled together, and the sleepover went so well with the dogs in the book:)

Sounds like a perfect sleepover, using a fun and clever book to illustrate. I can fully picture this but now we have to split the group up into girls one time and boys another. Lara is 12 and cousin Skyler is 11. Both middle school but no blood connection. Lara is part of the sweet pair of grandies who were part of a package deal marriage 😉

❤ My grandfather used to read us this book. And now, having the grands, I can relate to your prose. THis post tied three generations together for me.

We stayed overnight with a family when my youngest was three. She got the bottom bunk from the daughter of the family. As soon as light crept through the window, the older girl reports, my daughter climbed up onto her bunk, pulled back her blankets and said, “There’s light! It’s morning! It’s morning!”
