I've got patio chairs! IKEA still delivers.

We got an IKEA order with some bed linens; a chair that matches our dining room table (Our new Helper eats with us and we were having to use MsC's bedroom chair to have enough seats; a step stool (We'll keep this one in the bedroom. The cupboards are so high, but used frequently. This way we won't be not tempted to climb up on the swivel office chair; and my favorite: 2 folding patios chairs. I'm leaving the patio chairs folded up on the side of the deck. I know it's unlikely, but I'm still worried someone will climb up and fall off the deck.

The kids each tried using the power drill putting together things.

The Just Dance in the title is referring to how we're getting our crazies out - now that long walks, swimming and the playground are no longer options.

We tried an online dance class, but that didn't work as effectively as YouTube "Just Dance" video. These are video recordings of people playing the video game "Just Dance". The girls discovered these months ago with their friends and had already spent a long time perfecting their moves to their favorite few. Everyone jumped at the chance to dance. I tried to follow along and remembered why I never do aerobics classes. I can't follow along, lol.

This is some of our crazies lately.

MsE likes to instigate races from the front door through the living room down the hall to the bedroom door where Jonathan is usually working. The first person to crash into the door wins -Sorry about that conference call, Jonathan.

MsE and MsI have taken to climbing up and down the bunk bed without the ladder in all kinds of inventive and challenging ways. It's a short bunk bed, so I don't think anyone would be really hurt if they fell. I'm more worried they might flip the bunk bed over if they both tried it at the same time.

MsE put every bedroom pillow in house under her bunk bed in order to jump down on them - Please don't do that!

I've caught the girls walking the balance beam that is the top edge of the couch. It's about 2 inches wide. I just pulled MsI out from behind the couch. She climbed down and got stuck there.

MsC called me into the living room this morning to show me she had learned how to do a handstand by using the wall for support. They have taught MsI to somersault.

The girls put the pillows down for a soft landing for MsI's somersault lesson.
MsI shouting, "Don't break it!"

MsI takes all the cushions off the couch and piles them in the middle. She was yelling at me, "Don't break it!" I don't really mind that, but there is still jumping on or across the couch despite our best efforts to stop it.

MsC broke her arm jumping on the couch when she was 3 years old, so I am not a fan of that. Plus I've heard "Granny broke her arm jumping on the bed when she was a little girl," my whole life. I'm certain everyone in my family reading this, just thought about that.

MsI even jumped on her bed and broke one of the bed frame boards under the mattress yesterday.

I live in fear that they will smash the TV in some crazy accident. I don't want to do the next 6 weeks without a TV.

Can you see why I needed a chair on the patio?
