A Nice Quiet Evening at Home?

Yeah, right! Tonight's after dinner family activity was...3 boys having a contest seeing who could jump the highest when jumping off the couch followed by a "spinning contest" where they simply spun in circles as long as they could before the dizziness took over. We did ban the sprinting contest from the fireplace to the end of the kitchen - well, obvious safety reasons with running in the house. It all ended with a discussion of who got the most wet with sweat - all wanting second opinions to see if they were the "most wet." Now that is what I call a great family evening. Leah's main activity was sitting/standing on the other couch watching leaps and bounds, preparing for her future participation by simply squatting & bobbing her head. Wonderful, wonderful. 8:15pm - the house is quiet - five sleepers - that's right, Patrick, too.
