the last holdouts at the grandies’ slumber party at peaches’ (my) cottage.
–
cousins, cartoons, baby golf, talking dogs, books,
made-up group stories, pizza, mac ‘n cheese, apple juice, suckers,
stuffed animals, laughing, whispers,
sleeping bags, pillows, pj’s, flashlights,
and not much sleep.

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!
