We got a Trampoline!

putting the puzzle together:)

kids couldn't wait to jump...even though we weren't quite done!

almost done....still need to put the net up--we will save that for another day


The other day a friend of ours told us they had a trampoline they were willing to give away if we knew someone to take it off their hands! Guess what? We knew someone---US! How exciting! It's crazy cause Greg and I were trying to decide if we wanted to "invest" in one and then out of nowhere someone offers us one....what a God thing huh?
So anyways we got it early last week but we decided not to put it up until the kids showed us some gratitude! Lately they have been complaining and arguing and there was NO way we were gonna reward them for such behavior! So, after a week of "earning" their keep we finally decided to put it up. Greg and I went to work and surprisinly it wasn't that bad. The only hard part was pulling the springs and since Greg and I are so buff;) we didn't struggle all that much!
The kids have really enjoyed it so far and Greg and I have enjoyed it too! I was telling Greg a few weeks ago that I have really seen a change in the kids in what they like to do. They used to be entertained with board games and playing with their toys and such but as they get older I am seeing that we need to adjust our family activities to fit their interests sometimes. And their interests lately have been trampolines!!!! So I am praying this will be a fun and engaging activity we can all do together and hopefully we will have no broken bones:)
fyi~ remember I am married to Greg Stamps, he of course checked to see if we are covered to have a trampoline on our homeowners insurance....Mr. Prepared:) Thank you honey even though I act annoyed from time to time because I just want to have fun (with no responsibility:) and you want to cover all the bases- I really do appreciate you:) You're my hero!

*also last be not least*
Thank you Morgan family for the trampoline---what an awesome gift! We are very thankful!
