Creative or Dangerous


Why should you play on your jungle gym in the way that it was built? Why not create a new game or add elements to it, so that it is more exciting? I think that these are just some of the thoughts that go through my children’s heads throughout the day. At least for us they must have been thinking this when I checked on them playing outside only to find that they had wrapped the hose around the top of their play structure and then were sliding down the fireman’s pole and “hanging” by the hose towards the bottom. I was worried at first that they would wrap the hose around their necks but no they knew what they were doing the entire time. The first time I saw Bear go down I did not realize he was doing it on purpose until he was done. I’m sure I’m a horrible mother for letting them hang by a hose but they did come up with this game all on their own. Creative or dangerous you decide?

Leave it to the Thesing kids...he he he. Amelia would be right there with them and Ariana would be covering her eyes saying oh no oh no... I'm sure Cooper will be up there with them before you know it.

Yikes! I'd say creative AND dangerous but don't they all do stuff like that at some point? Isabelle looked like she was having a ball! We missed you and your crew yesterday at our MC Valentine's party!
