The Sublett house was full over the weekend. Each night found us with at least one extra housemate. Our kids love having friends sleep over, though I’m never sure how much actual sleeping takes place. Kim and I are glad that the kids want to have their friends over. We try to make the place warm and homey, and hope that kids have fun at our place. It gives us a chance to get to know who our kids are hanging out with, who they are listening to, and what’s going on in their lives. Along the way, we hope that we get to be at least a little influential in the lives of our kids’ friends, too.
I didn’t have many sleepovers at my house growing up, but Kim did. It’s taken a little getting used to, but I like it. Of course, that means that I can’t run around in the house in my skivvies, but that’s a small price to pay for getting to know our kids’ friends. Kim’s a great host, and always goes out of her way to make the night fun. She’s real big on smoothies at this phase of life for some reason.
Can anyone tell me why kids want to stay up all night talking, though? It’s not like they don’t ever see each other. And they’re tired as dogs the next day…
Anybody want a smoothie?
