Normal

My friend Emma slept at my house on Friday. Mom said we could have a sleepover. We had pizza for dinner. We chose our favorite kind. After dinner we played board games. We told silly stories. We laughed a lot. We got ready for bed. We brushed our teeth. We got in our sleeping bags. We talked until late. Mom said lights out. We whispered a little more. Then we fell asleep. In the morning we had pancakes. We had so much fun. We want to do it again.
