Some Birthday Videos

Jump, Jump, Jump

In my opinion that is all that 2 almost 3 year olds want to do, JUMP.  Over and over and over again.  Virginia went to a birthday party at a gymnastics gym.  All she really wanted to do was jump on the trampolines.  She wouldn't jump into the foam pit but she would carefully slide off the edge into it. 

Confused?

Yes it is confusing.  Sorry, I am wanting to stop posting here and going back to just one blog.  I won't get into it now but I'll let you know when I stop posting here.  Videos I'm going to have to work on b/c I don't have a youtube account (it's Chris's) and I'll need to get one to post on the other blog.  Nothing big just time consuming. 

Anyway, so that's why I posted on the original blog and then came back over here. 

Hope you enjoy the videos.

How To Skip Rope Without a Rope or Partner

The high today is ZERO.  That doesn't include the wind chill.  Which has it around -100 or something.  Okay maybe not -100 but you get the idea.  And I'm not one to laugh in the face of the weather men when they say STAY INSIDE.  So we are. 
I was desperate today.  I broke into the upcoming birthday stash.  She's got alot of energy.  and LOVES to jump. 
Why couldn't I have invented something like this?  And no it certainly isn't the same as having 2 of your friends turn a rope singing little diddies while you jump outside in the sunshine on a playground BUT it'll do for awhile. 
And yes Chris (he has hawk like eyesight when it comes to things in my pictures and videos) there are potato strawlike chips on the floor under the dishwasher.  I had just spilled them and when I couldn't get even a moment to sweep them up because I was hearing Mama for the millioneth time I got out the skipper and swept later.  Oh and the dishwasher was running so it sounds really loud.

It has 3 speeds and let me tell you the slowest speed is pretty darn hard.  I love how she stands back to judge just the right time to jump into the "rope."
