Brangelina And The Kids Have Weekly Slumber Parties

Raising six children would be a challenge for many, but raising them before the prying eyes of the paparazzi is unquestionably tough. In the effort to "keep as much normalcy" as they can for Maddox Chivan, 7, Pax Thien, turning 5 this month, Zahara Marley, 3 ½, Shiloh Nouvel, 2, and twins Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline, 4 months, Brad Pitt said today on The Oprah Winfrey Show that he and partner Angelina Jolie have at least one rule that is almost always adhered to.

"We do things as a family, and we keep everyone together."

That sense of unity is on full display during the kids' weekly "inadvertent" slumber party, hosted by their sleepy parents. "They have it set up where we'll put them to bed, read the stories, and one will show up about a half hour later and can't sleep, and want to read more books," Brad explains. "We'll do that for about an hour and a half, then they'll go to sleep, and we'll just be fading off when someone else [gets up]." He jokes,"I know they've got shifts. They've got it worked out where it's like, 'At 2:30, you pee the bed, and then you go crawl in their bed.' So, yeah. We do [slumber parties] once a week."

Telling host Oprah Winfrey that he "can't imagine life" without his family of eight."We really enjoy it," he says. "It's the thing I'm most proud of, the greatest endeavor we've ever taken on and the most interesting, most fulfilling, most rewarding thing I've ever experienced." He asks,
"Why should I stop?"
