played with the kids and already paying for it.

So for Easter we decided to try something different. We don't give the kids a whole lot of candy. (I have candy from every major holiday since Halloween) We went to an Easter Egg Hunt and they got a lot of candy there, so we didn't want to buy any more. We decided that a trampoline would be a really neat family gift. Well there was some mix up and it turned out that at first we bought the netting that you put up around the trampoline to keep the kids from falling off. So I ordered the actual trampoline Easter Sunday and it came in about a week ago.



There has been some pretty bad weather the past week. I actually found out that if you don't like the weather you can wait a few minutes and it will change to some thing else. Anyway today one of Willie's buddies came over and helped him put it together.









The minute it was finished the kids where ready to go. They all got on and had a blast. After they played for a little while I went out there and decided that I would get up there and play with the kids.

(Marybeth got some air that jump.)







By the time I got off the trampoline I was already feeling it in my legs. I was only on there for about 30 minutes tops. Tonight the back of my legs HURT! Not really looking forward to how they will feel tomorrow. But it was fun being with the kids. We sat and talked about the dreaded "Rules" that had to be followed. We also found out how fun Ring around the Rosie's can be on a trampoline. That was Taylor's favorite thing to do while I was there with them. An even nicer thing is that it did not take any of the kids long to fall asleep tonight.

that looks like so much fun! That is going to be one of our next major purchases...but with the net because knowing my boys, one will try and push the other off:0) But I can't wait because I know it's going to be great exercise for me too!
