The other major difference is the fact that I'm a mom. Of babies, toddlers, and boys. Oh, the boys. Abraham especially. And Ivy. Who is obviously not a boy, but whatever. Those two together are CRAZY. It brings our prior craziness to a whole new level. As we were hanging out together on the driveway, I watched the kids attempt to climb a tree. While that in itself is not a huge deal, the fact that they were using a huge green BALL to stand on to reach the lowest branch makes it a bigger deal. Scarlett and James held the ball while Abraham stood on it reaching waaaaay up into the tree for the tree branch. And what did I do while they were attempting this asinine stunt? I went to get my camera of course!
The second adventure that we had this morning involves the youngest boy and girl. Those two are peas in a pod as far as wild is concerned. Apparently this stunt started when daddy was home watching the kids; I'd like to say I wouldn't have allowed it, but I probably would have. After all, I am letting it continue, and I took video! We have this speed bike, as it is aptly named by the children; it is a one person bike thingy that you sit on. You are supposed to move the handle back and forth to make it go, but we have never really done that. Abraham claimed this as his bike early on, and has since been out to break all speed records on the thing. He races down the neighbors driveway and crashes into the grass. At least he doesn't go down ours, right? As it is steeper and has a corner. Yeah, right. He can go faster down ours and then crash land in the grass. And usually tip over....
Wellllll, apparently Ivy has watched her brother do this. Don't call social services, I won't let her go down the driveway alone, and not for lack of trying....now she sits on the back of the bike with Abraham and they zoom down drive and crash into the grass together. She can't get enough of it...OMG. Imagine the two of them behind the wheel of a car in a few years!
