You'll get a surprise....

The best thing in the world.....get the kids to clean up their playroom and they get a surprise. The best part is, the surprise is something we already had they had in the attic that we bought 5 years ago.

So, last night I decided this playroom has got to get clean, and I was not going to be the one doing it AGAIN!! So, while I was cooking dinner I told Madelyn and Lilly you clean up this play room and you will get a "surprise"--They were psyched.

They cleaned it all by themselves except for a few puzzle peices and play kitchen pieces that were "hidden" that I am anal about (when I actualy do clean :P) So after dinner the surprise came down out of the attic.

A HUGE blow up Hippo that you can climb in and it has a ball pit in the back of it. We bought it for Madelyn when she was like 15 months old, when we lived in our apartment, funny thing is Josh and I remembered it being a LOT bigger than it was last night. Maybe because we lived in matchbox sized apartment then. Who knows.

Regardless, the kids loved it, they worked up a sweat jumping, playing, building forts last night. It was PERFECT, and it wore then slap our for bed time, the even better part of the surprise.

So now, what can I pull out of the attic for Christmas......

Hugs,
