Sliding down the basement stairs in a sleeping bag - hilarious! Hey, it kept them occupied, didn't it?
I love it! What fun!
This is great - and I want in on Vampires Rise!
What memories!
What a special birthday for as special young lady... She will ALWAYS remember it!
It's moments like these, that adults without children wonder what if ....
I could only have been a golden birthday. Well done.
Alex, it was fun until ice became necessary.
Connie, lots of smiles.
Allie, it's such a cool game.
Barbara, yes. Lots of fun memories now that I'm more well-rested :)
Michael, you're always welcome to help plan and run birthdya parties chez moi.
Thanks Joanne!
So funny. Thankfully, my daughter said after the party "I wouldn't want a hamster - too rat-like...and alot of work". Laziness wins again.
Just be grateful that one child threw up 30 minutes before the party and not 30 minutes into it!!!
And I'm so honored to know WHTD was one of the presents. :D I hope she enjoys it!
Wow! the count down list was pretty extensive...and the triple 11 things is pretty cool. Happy B-Day #1.
Now I wished I had thought of stair-surfing in a sleeping bag when I as a kid. I can't believe I didn't!!
You got 6 hours of sleep? I'd say that was pretty good.
Loved the list.
(Especially the sleeping bags down the basement stairs!)
I have an eleven year old too.

Sounds like it was a fun party.
You're supposed to use a sleeping bag? That would have saved me a lot of rug burns on the back. But we were boys, and chicks dig scars. So they say.
Happy one-day-late Birthday to Child #1! Sounds like the perfect party for an 11-year old :)
I suspect part of what will make this a wonderful memory in years to come is 'Mom's' input in the festivities. ...did you think, jusst for a moment, of siding donw the bannister, yourself?
Sounds like a fun birthday! (And a fun way to write your blog post!)
P.S. I nominated you for a blogging award over at the nut-tree.
Please accept my simultanious compliments and apology.
