The Ball Pit

We got this ball pit as a hand me down from some friends. This thing is going to be the death of me. The kids absolutely love it. There are about 50+ balls in this thing. We had it downstairs but decided to move it upstairs since there was more room. These balls are everywhere! I find them in our bedroom, on the staircase, in the BATH TUB, stinking everywhere. I find myself picking up these darn balls all the time. I am trying to teach the kids to help me put them back in but Kyle just jumps in the pit and throws more out. The never ending battle of the balls. We do however have some really cute pictures with them in it. Steve decided to get funny one night and put 2 balls down Brooke's shirt. The picture will speak for itself! Brooke has figured out that she can push the entire thing over and ALL of the balls come out. She thinks that is super fun. It is a blow up type of deal so they climb all over it. They are definitely our monkeys! That's why it was easy to decide on their Halloween costumes. MONKEYS! Brooke actually has so much upper body strength that she can scale the bathroom counter and hold her own body weight as she tries to get up on the counter. I'm guessing by the time she's 5, she'll be able to kick MY butt!
