Trampoline

About two weeks ago, Nixin asked me if we could count the money in his piggy bank. We pulled it down, along with Jack's, and started counting. Much to my surprise, my boys had somehow saved $150!!! When we came up with the final amount, Jack shouted "We have enough to buy a trampoline!"

We agreed that if they wanted to buy a trampoline with their money that we would let them. After much searching, we finally found the one. Chad and the boys put it up last night and the boys have been on it every free minute since. It is great to see them using their energy outside jumping around instead of sitting in front of the TV. I have learned by watching them today, that trampolines also make great wrestling arenas.

Awww...there's nothing more exciting than their first trampoline! We got our first one when Todd was 2, and 10 years later, they are still constantly on that thing! I love that they're exercising and don't even know it :)

That's so fun! Gavin would be very jealous. You guys are nice parents--I made Gavin put his money in the bank which just confused him.
