One of Lauren's new favorite things to do is jump rope. However a side effect of jumping rope is skinned knees. Lauren takes her jump rope to school, as do her friends with their jump ropes, and when its recess, they all get their jump ropes out of their back packs and go outside to have jumping contests. Lauren's record is 91 jumps without missing. Rick and I think it is great exercise. The only problem is that recess is not long enough and Lauren feels the need to jump rope at home in the family room. This in conjunction with her brother's diving off the couch makes it sound like we live with a herd of elephants, especially to those down stairs. Last week I told Mark to go down stairs and apologize to Grandma and Grandpa and tell them that he was sorry they lived with a herd of elephants. Instead of issuing a apology Mark said "You live with a herd of elephants." Oddly enough Grandma and Grandpa did not disagree.
