Obstacle Course

We have been going a little stir crazy here.  The kids were sick with stomach bugs for the 2 weeks before we left for Washington for Christmas, then we got a much needed break from sicknesses for the 2 weeks we were in Washington, but then a mere 4 days after we got home, Jayden had the sniffles.  The next day he was spiking a 104 fever.  But Thursday, he was doing much better, but Willow was going downhill.  So, here we are, Sunday night, and me and the kids have pretty much not gone anywhere for almost a week.  And man, are all of our new and old toys getting really boring!  So, today, after we built like the 5th edition of Dora's castle from the legos Willow got for Christmas, I decided it was time to get their blood moving.  So, I created an obstacle course.

You start at the shopping cart, grab a piece of fruit or vegetable, and throw it into the blue box on the train table.



then you race around the train table...



past the snakes (don't let them bite you!)...



over the caterpillar chair...



where you make a hard right...



to jump off the polka dot circle...



to knock over the pillar...



to jump over the blocks...







to finally make it to the slide...





only to have to crawl under the bridge (where the dino is trying to eat you)...





where you were then suppose to get into the jumper for victory!  But nobody wanted to get into the jumper.  Jayden just wanted to know how fast he made it through the course and then went back to beat his time.  His record time was 24 seconds!

So, here's to a hopefully healthy week!  Although we're suppose to get snow, so I suppose all our activities are going to get canceled due to weather. I guess I'll build another obstacle course tomorrow...but maybe outside with snowman trying to attack you!
