Pajama Party

Eleven of "my girls" from my small group spent the night at our house for a "pajama/pineapple juice" party. When you say p.j.'s here it is short for pineapple juice. Therefore, we put the two terms together and that is what we got. The girls thought the name was perfect. We had a wonderful time. I fixed them a dinner of chicken and rice. Nothing new, but they liked how I fixed it. We also drank the pineapple juice.Then they wanted to take their showers and put their pajamas on. They were giddy with excitement. In my mind I was thinking, 11 girls even at 10 minutes each, was going to take a long while. They didn't take too long. They really enjoyed having a shower with warm water. That is something they're not used to. When they came downstairs we made some banana cookies. They had never baked anything before, so this was quite an experience for them. We ate the cookies while watching a movie. After the movie, I had them share their dreams. I loved hearing what they want to do with their lives. They went upstairs to go to bed at around 1am. But, of course, that isn't when they actually went to sleep. I finally went to sleep at 1:30 and woke up to them chatting (loudly) at 6:30. A nap later on would help revive me. We fed them breakfast and took them all home. It was definitely a fun experience for all of us.
