You know you’re a mom (who blogs) when……..
before yelling..…you reach for the camera and start snapping shots.

So two of my kids are still in school, one’s out for the summer. This is what I walked in to find this afternoon after everyone was home. It’s one of those big exercise balls.
I *think* it’s gonna be a long summer.

That ball can give hours and hours of fun. Seriously. I and my friends played dodge ball with that…:)
You’re a brave mom. At least they’re getting along.

The big ball isn’t allowed in our family room. One f my few, few rules.

Yeah, too much time on their hands. lol
My Binny would go nuts for that ball! Can I send her over?
BTW, I got the package you sent yesterday but I haven’t had a chance to use any of it yet. I’m going to try it out in my post-farm shower tonight! Thanks!

Jack loves our exercise ball. He hasn’t started throwing it around yet. So far we just bounce on it a lot. I say put away the breakables and join in on the fun. Why not make it a fun summer?
Looks like they are having fun! We have an exercise ball that size and we have to keep it out of sight from the dogs or they will go bonkers and attack it.

Hey, just be thankful they are finding a relatively ok way to keep themselves occupied. Could be much worse I’m sure. Right? I mean, I am sure it has been much worse even.

OMG — I am soooo guilty of the blogger-photo-obsession thing. Like, when we were in the ambulance and Kelly’s pain meds had kicked in for those broken arm bones, and I knew she would make it through — I started that iPhone camera just a-clicking — as you know.
