A Birthday/Slumber Party

Slumber parties, also known as sleepovers or pajama parties, aren’t only for teenage girls. Anyone can have a slumber party, regardless of age. We decided to have a slumber party last night, February 22, in honor of George Washington’s 274th birthday. The guests at our slumber party were Ms. Drue, Daddy David, Henri, and Ginger. David had to be at the State Regional Office Building at 8:00 a.m. this morning to take a test for a lieutenant position. (Don’t worry Lance. This is a lieutenant position in the State Department of Corrections. David’s not going to challenge you for the Lieutenant Governor job.) David thought it would be easier to spend Monday night here rather than wake Drue very early this morning and then drive to Marion. This slumber party was not like the ones I remember from years ago. The thrill of a slumber party is to do everything but slumber. Snacking, watching movies, and staying up until the wee morning hours are the norm. Ours literally was a slumber party. After supper, Henri took his position in his recliner and promptly went to sleep. Drue, David, and I played with toys and puzzles until Drue discovered the four batteries from the camera were far more fascinating. About 7:30 p.m., Drue went to bed, and Henri woke up. David reviewed information for his test and went to bed around 10:00 p.m. Henri retired to his recliner once again, and Ginger partied alone. I’m going to invite guests who can stay awake to my next slumber party!

  2. Maybe that's why they run full speed like Energizer bunnies!
