With the cold days and Tim needing to keep the kids quiet while I teach, there has been an abundance of ENERGY that has been floating around the house needing to be worked out.\u00a0 Poor Chloe and Josiah just can’t seem to get enough of their energy out which then results in getting in trouble or rough-housing and hurting the other person… you get the idea.\u00a0 We had hashed around ideas of what they could do, and an indoor trampoline came up.\u00a0 We looked at the stores around here but none of them had any in the stores, so we had resigned ourselves to the idea of having to start searching online for one.<\/p>\n
But then on Saturday, when Tim was up in St. Cloud helping work on his Mom’s house for the day, she said we could borrow hers!\u00a0 She has a small exercise trampoline that we thought would work perfectly<\/span> for the kids to just release some steam on.\u00a0 And boy were we right!<\/p>\n You should have seen their faces as Tim rolled it in through the door on Saturday night–it was a chorus of “oooooh’s” and “aaaaaahhhh’s!” and squeals of delight.\u00a0 Then then proceeded to jump on it for the next hour straight before bed.<\/p>\n Here’s a video we took of Josiah jumping on it for the first time.\u00a0 The quality is poor because I took the video on my camera and he’s shirtless because we just finished supper and he had spilled something all over it… we were just about to change them into jammies when Tim rolled it through the door.<\/p>\n
