Me having a GREAT time

This is what happens on a Sunday morning when Mom jumps into the shower. The four kids start jumping off the top of the stairs. Meghann doesn't like to be a kid every once in a while because she is a teenager after all! We'd start running or just jumping from the top of the staircase into a big pit of pillows, blankets, stuffed animals, and anything soft we could find! Every once in a while we'd get hurt by running too fast and slamming into the wall but hey we had our helmets on! Sorry if some if the pictures are blurry! I had to get them before they slammed right into me! This post was by Courtney because my Mom was in the shower this whole time!!

Your dad and his brothers and sisters used to use their pillows to slide down the stairs, or they would pile them down the hall and jump over them. What fun to be a kid. just be safe.
