Spoiled!

I admit it, I have spoiled children.  Mainly, because I want them to have things, more than they want them.  In this case, this new toy was definitely for me!  ok, ok, maybe not for ME, but for my sanity.  With all of the snowy days, extremely cold temperatures, days off from school, I was going nuts.  No really, like NUTS!  I realize that we just got back from a major energy reducing trip, but that opened my eyes even more that my kids need things to burn off their crazy amounts of energy.

I went crafting at a friends house the other day, walked downstairs and there stood the best invention ever!  ok, maybe not best invention, but pretty close.  It was an Indoor/outdoor enclosed trampoline for 3-10 year olds.  How cool is that?  My search was on and thankfully rounded one up the following day.  I wasn't even going to take time to think about it.  My sanity was worth any amount of dollar sign anyways!  (it was actually pretty cheap!)

The best part:  They kids have been playing on it non-stop for the last 3 days.  Seriously, they play on it all the time.  Today, Mason grabbed Maddys hand and said "come on Maddy, let's go jump!" (did I mention how much I LOVE having these two close together?)  Mason also told me that I was the "funniest mom"   That alone....worth every penny!!

Can't wait for Spring when they can jump outside, and summer with a sprinkler under it!  FUN!

Who else is spoiled in this house?  

Sasha thinks she is a 5lb lap dog.  

Man, is she LOVED!  sweet girl!

Ok, my turn.  

I wouldn't necessarily say I'm spoiled, because I have been waiting for this camera for about a year.  I've wanted one so bad and just when I thought I would get one, something else would come up, or I would talk myself out of it.  Not today!   Here is my new purchase, and I'm so excited about it.  I have loved photography for a long time.  So get ready; the 100 pics a month I take, might very well turn into 500.  ;)  

This bad boy can take 4 pictures per second!  

Just what I need for my high-energy loves!
