The Rainbow Sleepover

Yesterday afternoon a very excited Emilie was taken to the Guide headquarters in Warrington so that she could attend her first Rainbow sleepover.

Emilie was very excited and kept asking all day how long it was before she was going, she was so excited she even woke up and started planning her day at 6:30am, which didn’t please the rest of us!

Mummy took Emilie, her sleeping bag, blanket, pillow, Rosie bear, wash bag and kit bag (you would be amazed as what is needed by one small girl for one night away from home) up to the Sleepover at 4pm.

It was very strange last night without her in the house and Josh made sure he told their swimming teacher that Emilie wasn’t their as she was on a sleepover. The boys made the most of the peace and quiet and sat on the sofa eating crisps and chocolate and drinking hot chocolate whilst they watched Kung Fu Panda.

This morning we then all got ready so that the boys could go to rugby (Dan has a match – see later for a match report) and Mummy went to collect Emilie. Emilie came home with more stuff than she went with as in the space of just 18 hours the Rainbows had managed to make 2 Christmas tree decorations, toffee apples, blueberry muffins and cheese stars, as well as eat supper and breakfast and apparently sleep as well!

Emilie had a brilliant time and can’t wait for next year’s sleepover!
