Para"sheet"ing

Last week I had my older boys strip their beds so I could change their bedding. They did it with out complaining. Before I knew it, my younger twins started bothering me about changing their bedding, too. According to them it wasn't "fair" that they didn't get new sheets on their beds, too.

This seemed a little odd to me. When have the kids ever cared about getting clean sheets on their beds?
Silly me. The kids were not excited about getting clean sheets on their beds. They wanted their fitted sheets off their beds so they could run around the house with them.

The older boys began parachuting down the stairs. I did my motherly duties by informing the boys that bed sheets are not parachutes and they won't be able to really soar through the air with them. Of course they had already figured this out. They also figured out that if you hold a fitted bed sheet over your head and run through the house it's lots and LOTS of fun! My clever little kids kept saying they were para"sheet"ing! All four kids parasheeted all day and all night.

It was fun watching the kids running around the house, even if they did knock down just about everything off a shelf and counter top with the bedsheets while running through the house.

It was funny when I'd hear the kids declare it was time for a break. An arm break.  

I love my creative kids!
