Almost "Solo" Sleepover

Lil Shauna grabs every chance to sleepover at mu brother's place. If she could, she would have packed up and shift to their place to live with her beloved F2. She said that she would shift out to live with F2 when she is 17. Dont ask me where the money will come from.

Zaky had a couple of sleepovers many months back but always had Popo with him. Since my brother shifted, their new place is too cramp to accommodate so many people. Knowing that he had to be on his "own", he didnt pester much when jiejie go for sleepover. This works great bcos he is a handful to manage and while my brother will take Lil Shauna anytime, they have to think very hard to take him. Lol.

Zaky had started pestering to sleepover at my brother's place. Maybe he is now older and braver and thinks that he would do well sleeping over with just jiejie. He was upset when we rejected his last request, lamenting about being the only boy and outcast. Awwwww... I promised that we would make arrangement.

My brother and SIL had been really accommodating and agreed for the kids to sleepover on Sunday. The kids were so thrilled and had been discussing sleeping positions. Lol.  To help ease managing so many kids, we headed over only after dinner and stayed until late. We left after Zaky assured us that he really wanted to sleepover; we reminded him that he could call us to pick him up if things didnt turn out well. I think we were just as anxious during Lil Shauna's 1st sleepover.

The car ride home was unusually quiet. Once home, I requested for pictures. Haha. They obviously were having a great time.

While I said that I was worried, I still slept very well. Lol. I finally have my bed back, having to either sleep on the floor with Zaky or squeeze in the bed with the kids for the last 2 weeks while ah yee was here. It must be the bed.

Only when we were up the next morning that I saw that the kids were up and playing until 1am, even Zaky tahaned and resisted sleep.

Zaky probably was tired and tried to sleep (he said that he pretended).

And allowed the girls to "prank" him with washable markers.

Only in the morning that I read that his nose acted up at 11ish, probably from the tons of soft toys that the girls have in the room. My SIL suspected too and asked if he could have medicine but his mother was already happily in lala land. Haha. Upon reading the watsapp in the morning, I started imagining him sneezing so badly and stopped breathing in the night. Choy!

All were well bcos my SIL updated that the kids were all up before 8am despite the late night.

Then another round of play and more play.

The kids even went swimming in the afternoon although they have no swimming clothes. Lil Shauna made do with a loan from one of the older Fs. They improvised and gave Zaky this.

That was an old swimming top for one of the Fs, meant for 3 YO and jiejie's sleeping/ sports shorts. Well, so long as he is happy. I am pretty amazed that the 33kg boy could squeeze into the 3YO top; the seams looked like it was barely holding on. Lol. Zaky said that the swimming top could stretch like old socks!

We picked the kids only after work. With so mamy little human beings, we offered and helped to tabao dinner. The kids were still pleading to stay and play more after dinner. Zaky asked for anither night of sleepover, Lil Shauna said that she wanted to stay for a week! We bundled the kids up and headed home... my brother and sil needed the rest.

Zaky totally survived his 1st almost solo sleepover and absolutely loved it. Next week, we will have the girls over and I am sure, there will be plenty of sleepovers coming our way.

Yday morning, I found this in my wallet. So sweet, right?
