The trials and tribulations of trying to raise 6 children while dreaming of quiet country living from my suburban home. Humor, we get through it all with humor. ;)

Show Em how its done!
So, I bought my kids a slip-n-slide, just a cheap-o one...nothing fancy. I set it up in the yard and they were so excited about it...yet had no idea what to do with it. I told Natalie to run and then slide but she would slow down almost to a stop before she got to the edge of it. The boys just splashed in the spray that came out of the sides of it. So, I had to show them how its done! I got my bathing suit on and started about 25 feet back and ran towards the slide and then totally dove onto it. I went flying not only down the slide but about 6 feet off of the slide on my stomach. Natalie shreiked "Mommy! That was AWESOME!" It was a great mom moment. I felt on top of the world, I love that feeling. They just wanted to be with ME all day after that moment. I dont think that I will ever forget it.
How fun!!! Are you in any pain?!? Hee hee! Are they using it properly now?
