Santa Brought...

the trampoline!

He (or is it a she?!) didn't realize that the mini trampoline didn't come pre-assembled.  It said folding trampoline, so how was I to know?!  Apparently new fangled trampolines don't come with springs.  They come with bungees that you have to wind in and out of the netting and then somehow pull tight.

And it doesn't help when you realize 90% of the way through that you screwed up on step 2 and have to back track.  Ooops.

Santa's helper (Mr. Santa) was getting a bit grumpy, it was way past bed time!

But the gift was well received.  And the children have even more energy than I knew they did.  It's amazing in a scary and beautiful way.  :-)

A picture of the boys jumping was already posted, but here's one of my little girl jumping bean.


The trampoline is bringing out unknown energy from Genevieve.  I've always thought she just didn't have the same energy as the boys.  Now I find out she just doesn't choose to use it normally.  :-)  She could be as crazy as they are if she was so inclined!
