Bright ideas

​yesterday after the two girls were dropped off, grandma had the big idea to invite Melody and Brianna 

For a sleep over. 

They arrived mid afternoon and the place exploded 

Squeals and laughing and jumping all over themselves 

The soon settled down, kinda of.

Both the girls were absolutely lovely with Georgia 

Melody was trying to get her to crawl.  She is so very close 

Georgia loved melodys hair. She’s a hair puller. 

But the look they gave each other just made my heart melt. 

Melody is so great with her. Watching her for me while I had to leave her to 

Do anything 

Brianna was playing peek a boo with her and the giggles were I infectious 

Everyone ended up sitting on the floor with Georgie 

Giving her all the attention 

Even Trixie. 

Grandma was sitting in the chair having a rest. 

While organising the three older girls, grandpa offered to feed Georgie her 

Bottle 

I think there was a magic sleeping potion in with the milk. They both went to sleep 

After putting the younger two to bed. The place calmed down 

Melody was happy drawing on her iPad and I was feeding Georgia 

Her final bottle before sleep. 

Soon Melody went off to bed, grandpa went off to bed. And grandma,

Well grandma had to organise the little fold out bed on the couch.  The chaise

Lounge. Then she put Georgia in the little bed and slept right next to her. 

I had to have my arm around her all night. If I moved it away, Georgia would open her eyes instantly 

Grumble at me and give me that stare, until I put it back around her. 

 then she promptly went back to sleep. 

So grandma had a night of half sleep, the other half watching her to make sure she was safe. 

But in the end she slept in till quarter to seven. 

She woke happy, which was great. 

Then Melody came into the lounge followed by the other two. 

Then it was changing, feeding and organising for the day 

They have now all gone home 

I’ve started cleaning up all the chaos,  it’s spread all around the house! 

I’ll get to it all eventually.  Even though it was very tiring, I wouldn’t miss it at all 

To see them all having fun and interacting with each other just gives me a feeling of bliss. 

I know these days will soon be over. They will grow up and they won’t want to sleep at grandmas 

House any more. And that’s just fine. They need to grow up and find their own lives. 

But I will have these wonderful memories to cherish.
