Pillow World & Other Stuff

The kids have been making "Pillow World" for years. They lay every pillow in the house (except for a couple of "Mom will strangle you if you jump on that pillow" pillows) on the floor and pounce and play on them. Sometimes a blanket tent covers Pillow World. When they did it over the weekend, we let Abbie and Jack secretly sleep there without Lily suspecting a thing. We'd love to have Lily join the slumber party, but we know that doesn't work very well just yet.

The most fun thing about Pillow World is to take a running start, then leap into the air and land on the pillows. Jack wanted Kenny and me to do it. I went first. Then Kenny almost broke his wrist doing it and gave up. But not SOO-PER MOM! I took a few more not-so-graceful dives, yelling "AAAHHH!" or "Geronimo!" Jack's eyes about popped out of his head. He laughed so hard. He said Kenny and I should be on "America's Funniest Home Videos."

We also had fun Saturday night at a festival at Lily's preschool -- or pretty school, as she calls it. It was almost identical to the St. Mary Autumnfest back home. What a great time! The kids played lots of games and won prizes. The girls got their faces painted. Kenny got a hole-in-one in a putting game and got to play for a chance at $50,000 (no luck that time). I forgot my camera, but took these shots when we got home.

It was quite a busy weekend. We had 2 volleyball games, church, and a Bible study group in addition to other stuff I won't bore you with. By Sunday night, we were pooped. Thank you, Papa John's Pizza, for the $16 special! Some days were made for delivery.
