Best. Sleepover. Ever.

Another catchup blog. Retroblogging. You know?

Two weeks ago Jessica & Dave headed out of town for a few days,

so KK and I got to hang out for a few hours.

Overnight.

Since I have no kids and no nieces or nephews of my own, 

KK (and Ashlyn) get to be my virtual-nieces.

Fun virtual-aunt status was in full effect.

I picked up KK after work on Friday night, and let her pick our dinner plans.

"Red Robin.

No wait... CPK.

No wait... BJ's.

No...CPK. They have the BEST bread!!!"

(She is 100% her mother's daughter, and has an excellent palette for sourdough).

Pasta with butter.

And extra bread.
WE. ARE. SO. EXCITED.

While at dinner, we discussed our plans for the sleepover.

She could choose her breakfast option (cook, Starbucks, or iHop).

She wanted to stay home and make breakfast - eggs were her choice.

Not pancakes, waffles, or cinnamon rolls.

Eggs.

Your wish is my command, little one.

We stopped by the grocery store for some OJ and then to my parents to get Mylie.

And a quick hello to Chloe.
Chloe won't go potty outside at my house.

So Chloe is not invited. Sorry.

The three of us were homeward bound.

Kayla's backpack reads 

"Going to Grandmas"

Sound's about right. I am pretty geriatric after all.

We did some iPad-ding 

And cake baking. 

Rainbow Chip with Chocolate Frosting. 

She wore the appropriate sleepwear.

And cake decorating. 

A belated birthday cake for Mylie.

With her image on it.

We gave Mylie the tops of the cake - before frosting, obviously.

And then bedtime.

It took a while for everyone to settle in and find their respective spots.

And figure out what all of the noises we heard were (planes, trains, and automobiles).

But the girls slept in harmony all night.

 5:55am came quickly.

And Kayla awoke with a start - she wanted to walk to Starbucks.

Instead of making breakfast.

The streets were empty, which gave her plenty of opportunity to work with Mylie on her heeling skills.

They both had it down.

Kayla may have a career in dog obedience.

Thankfully, this Starbucks is dog friendly.

So we hung out for a while.

Until Kayla remembered she wanted to make eggs.

So we hurried back home.

For egg duty.

And leftover CPK bread.

More iPad-ing. 

Including a special drawing with a special message from my mom.

And dog castle building.

Complete with votive candles.
What every dog castle needs.

I'm pretty sure Mylie loved her new digs.

I'm not sure who loved it more, Mylie or KK.

But we had a fantastic 18 hours together.
Mylie has requested that you come back soon Miss Thang.
