Trampoline - Oh No

Well Tim is on his way to Walmart to purchase a trampoline. We told the kids they could have one if they did all of the following: clean the whole house including closets, laundry room, bedrooms (even under beds), mud room, and even the garage. Well and guess what, they did it. We had promised it thinking they would never do it in a million years. Well they shocked the heck out of me, and Tim. So now we are keeping our end of the bargain. Now let's just keep our fingers crossed that none of them break any bones on it.

And on another note I made it through kids choice dinner week. We are back on parents choice so last night we had lasanga. Amanda begged us for it, and promised us she would make it. But when we got home with it she decided to play oh dumb blonde one and forgot how to make it so we ended up coming down to made it. Of course she was on Facebook telling her friends that she just made lasagna, yeah right.

We have wrestling and weight lifting tonight but I will be back, as I am sure there will be a story to tell about putting the trampoline together that will start something like this...... How many Clarke's does it take to put a trampoline together?

So the answer to that question is it takes 7 Clarke's. It was Dylan and the rest of the them fooling around with it trying to get it together and Tim had to go out and read the directions for them. They all thought they could put it together without reading the directions.

And the first one to cause injuries is the one who was not supposed to be on the trampoline at all, you know him as Dylan, we know him as stupid Dylan because he never, ever listens to us. He wanted to know why he could not jump on it we told him, duh because he has a broken back. And of course he was right back out there hurting everyone else. See why I did not want to get a trampoline.

Luckily we had wrestling and weight training, so halfway through trampoline demolitions Emily, Meghan, Amanda, and Dylan we left so that ended the injuries for the day. Bradley had work so we had some quiet.

Oh did I tell you about Bradley's new play toy, oh I mean energy zapper. He bought that surround sound system that he just had to have so now he is down to very little money and he just started at Best Buy. That is the best part he got a job doing something he loves. He gets to talk and get people to buy things they really don't need. Hell he is an expert at it, he does it to himself all the time. He is great at the limited time offers you know when something is on sale so you have to have it now. You watch he will be a pro.

And TJ is taking his ASVAP test next week for the Airforce and having his physical. We still have mixed feelings about him deciding to join, but he is 20, so we don't have much of a choice. He says he wants to do something different. I suggested going away to college but that didn't seem to strike a chord. So we are going to do what all good parents do support him in public and bitch in private.

Well I gotta go and write some articles. Have a good night. See you next time.
