What is a Trash Can?

I must be confused because when I went to get my laundry basket I found it in the closet.
Not so unusual but instead of clothes being in there I found trash.
Steve was cleaning and instead of getting an actual trashcan he grabbed the laundry basket.
I'm pretty sure he found this basket in the bathroom next to an actual trashcan.

The Supervising Doesn't End Today


I thought maybe, just maybe this was the night all manner of supervising my husband with the girls might end.   We have a heavy bag that hangs in the garage; great stress reliever.  The girls like to punch it and apparently hang on it.

I usually don’t find out about these types of shenanigans until someone gets hurt so when I came home tonight and L started spilling the beans, Steve looked at me and said everyone is fine but I won’t be doing that again.

Doing what again?

Letting them hang onto the heavy bag chains and wrap their legs around the body and spin it.

WHAT?

L went flying off.  Luckily she landed on the ground with grace and didn’t get hurt.

So that is why I will continue to worry about them when he watches them….haha!

My Cool Pool, His Cool Pool

I need to spruce up the fun for the kids once in a whil; for both my enjoyment and laughter as well as theirs so I created this little puddle of fun....


Just your typical ghetto fabulous backyard blow up pool with the slide gym stuck inside.  They would go flying down the slide and loved every minute of it.  Safe and sturdy; no harm to be found...until Steve came along.

Notice where the galvanized pail went that was originally gathering toys in the top picture.  He put 2 pails under the triangular base.  He said it made it more interesting.  He only had to catch H once as she was dangling off the ladder while L balanced on the slide to keep everything from tipping over.  Is that a slight exaggeration?  Most likely not but seeing as I had a panic attack when I walked outside and saw this death trap there might be a slight exaggeration in there....SLIGHT!
