Stool hurdles

 2nd post of the day-The kids have missed a few days of school already due to excessive rain and flooding and this is something they enjoy doing when we are inside on rainy days!  I am amazed that no one has gotten hurt doing this yet!


 The sports setting on the camera really does capture some funny moments and expressions!



 Ryan can get some serious air when he jumps!
Anything to burn some excess energy when stuck inside.  This is actually an event in the family Olympics, which we began while watching the real Olympics and have repeated from time to time.  Scott likes to keep score and give prizes.  In addition to stool hurdles most recently, they did races as animals-bunny hop, seal slide in socks (which I don't normally let them wear in the house without shoes because someone is ALWAYS slipping and falling), wheelbarrow, etc-again anything to burn energy, having fun and acting crazy!  When all the points were added, Ryan won and they all made prizes for each other.  Scott is into folding paper into things lately.  Ryan made certificates of participation-after asking me how to spell that word, and Ashley made the boys paper cameras in their favorite colors.  Fun sibling bonding time!  Greg and I are always telling them how we hope that when they are grown and have their own families that they will enjoy each other as much as we enjoy Aunt Emily, Uncle Jake, Aunt Jodi, and Uncle Chris!  We are blessed to have great family and nutty children!
