"Kids, Your Mother Has Lost Her Mind"

by Kelly Crawford
I should have been getting the kids ready for bed. But I had this idea, walking past the inflated matress in the guest bedroom….Aaron saw me on the edge of the stairs, just in time to firmly say “No m’aam…” with that “what is she thinking?!” tone of voice.

Oops, too late.
(He snapped this picture on a later trip 😉

So then it was on–everyone took turns.
(Be careful what you do…your children will imitate you…and your husband too.)
We don’t have a TV. Does that make us strange? Don’t answer that question.

No ER visits, plenty of free laughs, and now the kids are sure they have a cool mom and dad 😛

lol! I guess even though I ended up staying the guest bedroom, inflating the mattress for me didn’t go to waste! You’re so much fun!

Ok another reason we need stairs in our next house… I think I will design them with this in mind. My kids would call the police they would be so scared “mean” momma had lost her mind. LOL

Just came to you blog via another…what a great blog!

You have the same interests – training our children up the way He wants us them to go.

We have been considering getting rid of the TV. Been on my heart a lot longer, waiting for God to speak to my hubby about it!

Blessings!

Air mattress, great idea! When I was little, my brothers and I would ride a sleeping bag down the stairs. That makes for a much bumpier ride!
