How a 7 Year Old Plans a Sleepover

My daughter has already had one sleepover. Actually she has had two, but the first time, the girl who slept over got homesick and I had to take her home. The first successful sleepover was on a Motzei Shabbos, when a friend who lives a few blocks away slept over till Sunday.

But this time, this past Shabbos, she had a sleepover with a friend, a classmate who lives on the other side of town. This friend was sleeping over Shabbos--and her parents were out of town, so if the girl got homesick we would have to manage.

Naturally, under the circumstances, precise planning was essential.
At least that is what my daughter thought. So she and another friend of hers got together to plan the proper--if not perfect--sleepover.

Here is the plan--which I have translated for those who do not understand 7-year-old.

Sleepover Party Plans make tent Night 5:00 dinner 6:00 Barbies 6:20 Scary Stories 6:30 Read Books 7:00 Sleep Morning 7:00 Breakfast 7:20 Get Dressed 7:30 Barbies 7:40 Project 8:00 Devorah until 12:08 House 1:00 Project until 6:00	Sunday 7:00 Project Breakfast 8:00 Get ready for Sunday Funday (held at local YMHA) 9:00 10:00 Go to Sunday Funday 12:30 Pick up Go Home

The sleepover was this past Shabbos, and it turned out very well--
Probably because my daughter lost the plans for the sleepover.
