&nbsp;

A couple of weeks ago, I was jumping my way through a bouncy castle at Laney's 7 year-old boy's birthday fiesta.  Video footage of this nonsense can be found <strong><a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2011/03/14/day-167-tiggers-are-not-the-only-one-who-are-bouncy-flouncy-trouncy-pouncy/" target="_blank">here</a></strong>.

&nbsp;

This Friday night, it was Christy Jo's 7 year-old girl's turn.  I BEGGED (and I do mean BEGGED) Christy Jo to allow me to play Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board.

&nbsp;

Christy Jo explained that these girls are too young.

&nbsp;

I didn't see how this was going to be a Slumber Party without Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board or Bloody Mary, but I also didn't want to be responsible for traumatizing the birthday girl.

&nbsp;

We found other ways to have age-appropriate girlie fun.

&nbsp;

Slumber Parties Rule!

My speciality:  Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board.  An aesthetician, I am not.  Oops!  I forgot a toenail!

Christy Jo read somewhere that it's not sugar that makes children hyper, it's the activities that they engage in while eating sugar.  Bwhahahahahahahaha!!!!

There's no better way to burn off the sugar high than jumping on
