We Want A Sleepover!!!!

[DianaB]

Are you ready to read a very funny story? Because this is it!!! My grandchildren have to be the ORNERIEST kids around and I have no clue as to where they could get it from!!!! Anyway here goes--

Yesterday evening my grandson, Elijah, started asking if he could spend the night. Immediately his Mom said no, so I didn't say anything but the girls, who had overheard started asking too. After a while they came up stairs from the basement carrying a note and asked us to read it to everyone. Here's what it said--

Dear Peoples,
We the people of the United States of America say that we need a sleepover. The reason is that our parents need time alone and our Grandparents NEED us and we need them.
Did we mention that we all love you very much.
With serious Love,
President George Washington

P.S. -Don't get mad!!!

Circle one

Yes No
Maybe IDK (I don't know)

We all had a big laugh at their note! Kiley ended up dressing like George Washington and came up and tried to convince us that they needed the slumber party. You'll notice in the picture of them that Elijah doesn't have a shirt and that's because George Washington had it on!

Anyway I ended up writing a note back that said--
Dear President George Washington,
After serious consideration the party of the second part has accepted the proposal from the party of the first part. Notwithstanding the fact that the party of the first part must comply with all rules from the party of the second part, also endenturing themselves as slave to the party of the second part.
Don't be mad! Signed,

The Peoples of the United States

If you therefore agree--sign here (Which they all signed!)
After they all signed I had them clean up the kitchen and Elijah sat and got upset because he didn't want to be a slave! (Continued)

There's more!!!!

This morning after I got dressed I reminded the kids that they were my slaves and that my bed needed to get made. So they all went in and made my bed and I took a picture after they were almost finished. Then I reminded them that they forgot to put the pillows on. The next time I looked in on them they were in a line around the bed and tossing pillows from one to another. Not just handing them but tossing them and Kiley was standing on the bed and they were singing " It's a hard knock life" from Annie. I cracked up laughing and when I told my husband what they were doing he was laughing too. It was like that all morning long!

Later they took a blanket and with my husband's help they were swinging each other in the blanket. I came in and told them that I wanted a turn too, but I was just joking, but later, after conspiring, they came and told me that they were ready for my turn. They had the blanket spread on the floor and put pillows down so I could be comfortable then they wrapped the blanket around me and one of the girls pulled out a roll of duct tape and wrapped me up in it!!! The slaves protested!!!!! I told that for lunch they were to only have a small piece of bread and a glass of water!!!!! Anyway, it was a fun day!!! They are great kids, but so ornery!!!! Just don't know where it comes from!!!!
