(Pay no attention to the child who, having just emerged from the bathroom, discovers he has toilet paper stuck to his foot.)

    How fun! And Small Fry’s face is too precious!

  2. Kirs says:

    As always the kiddos are adorable….just not my cup of tea. I would be a wreck someone would get hurt.

  3. Jill Flory says:

    How fun. with lots of pillows at the bottom it’s safe! Hey if they can do it in ‘Princess Diaries 2′ why not!!

  4. So where, exactly, did you get the idea to do this? While it looks totally fun, I’ve had enough trauma this week (just took baby to Urgent Care for stitches in his eyebrow, being the most recent) so I think I won’t share this idea with my kids. Just yet anyway. But seriously, how did you get this idea?

    That was so much fun and so refreshing! So neat how everyone helped first and then backed off and let Flurry adventure all ‘alone’. I laughed out loud at the paper I saw following ‘someone’ across the hall! Thanks for shoring with me! Us….=o)

  8. Terry says:

  11. Heatherr says:

  12. Katie says:

    M’s face totally makes those pictures!! GO L, go!!

  13. MJ says:

    That is one strong baby! Too cute. I think you have a future rock climber on your hands.

  14. Robyn says:

    The toilet paper caught my eye first and I followed it all the way down the page! Ha! Love it!

  15. Lisa says:

    Your new house looks very nice; and the children seem happy with it! Mattresses and all! You must feel good about being moved in and beginning to claim your new home as your own.

  16. Vera says:

    Your children look happy and that means you are doing just the right thing.
    Hang in there.

  17. Camie M. says:

    The toilet paper stole the show! Also, I think Lachlan may have a future in rock climbing. Too. Stinkin. Cute.

  18. Carrie says:

    Oh these kids crack me up! My brother and I used to have races down our stairs by sitting on our sleeping bags. He ALWAYS won. But yes, toilet paper on the foot takes the prize in these photos.

  19. Robin says:

    He totally did not want help did he? Looks like he is wanting to be one of the big kids and do things all by himself! What a little monkey!

  20. Becky L. says:

    How fun and creative!

  21. Kasey says:

    Looks like the kids are having a blast. Makes me wish I had stairs so I could try this out with my kiddos. I can’t believe my brothers and I never thought of this when we were growing up. We used to ride sleeping bags and bean bags down the stairs, and once a chair (bad idea, that ended with a broken arm). I have to ask, how did you get that camera angle of L climbing the mattresses? I hope you weren’t playing Evel Knievel just to get the shot, considering your recent injuries. Not that you’ve been known to do anything necessary to get the shot or anything;-)
    Thanks for sharing these fun photos.

    I continue to pray for you and your family.

  22. Tara says:

    Flurry looks like spiderman lol

  23. Barb says:

    Looks like they are all having a blast!

  24. Shannon says:

    Hahahaha that toilet paper is hilarious! Also, what kind of neat wrap around balcony stair thing must you have to get such good shots!!! (maybe?)

  25. Shay says:

  26. shari says:

    looks like a fun day of playing!! Hope you are feeling better–looks like a nice place–I LOVE M’S face in the one picture—either shocked or announcing…LOL

  27. Lindsay says:

  28. Melissa says:

    My brothers and I ALWAYS wanted to do that when we were kids and our mom never let us! :-)

  29. sarah says:

I am going through other things at home.I can’t sleep. I am not eating. I have this anxiety that wakes me up when I do fall asleep. I have never had this, What has helped you?
