Jump-o-lene and Swings Galore

Our playroom has turned into a fun house these days. To fight off some of the cold weather blues I have pulled out all of the stops. We re-hung the hammock swing that Uncle Mark and Tita Michelle got for Little Man when he was 9 months old and added a Jump-o-lene to the mix. Oh the fun we have had!

The boys have loved the swing and we have to use the timer because they both want to be in it constantly. Little Man gets 5 minutes and Peanut gets 2 and then we switch. Little Man gets to dictate if he spins or swings and he loves to help push Peanut.

The jump-o-lene is a large inflatable moon bounce type thing. I got it for free from my local freecycle and Papa Bear patched a few holes and ta-da! instant fun and energy burning for my little monkeys. Little Man (aka daredevil) likes to get up and jump from the couch into the jumpolene and land in a somersault flipping so that his legs flip up and out of the toy. (inducing quite a few heart attacks). But just look at the smiles on my boys. Totally worth it!

Papa Bear (and me)

My partner in crime and most gentle soul around. Papa Bear is all that is kind and considerate and puts his family’s needs before his own. As most Papa Bears, he does not multi task well but is working on it. He is dedicated to quality in all of his projects, little or small – especially where his yard and house are concerned. He is the creative, artistic one in the family who can draw chalk animals with life-like reality in just minutes and cut out dinosaurs and bugs free hand with one hand tied behind his back and blindfolded. He is the kid chasing, dirt digging, worm finding, ball throwing, world’s best Papa Bear.

Mama Bear

I am a mom of three young kids who thrives on teaching my children to love life. I tend to over organize and can’t exist without a schedule but my kids are breaking me of both of those habits. I can re-create any craft or meal I see, but am not usually creative enough to come up with them on my own so I have no shame in stealing all of my good ideas from other moms with experience. I am learning every day how to be a good mother and wife and have the best teachers in the world, my family.
