Going Bananas


I read the Picture Bible to my kids every night so when the babysitter came over she read to them before bed, as well. My kids told me later that when she was reading about Barnabas she accidentally called him "Bananas" instead. My kids laughed about that for days and now every time I open the Picture Bible they wan't to know if we are going to read about Bananas.

Last night my husband was getting ready to go to his FOCUS training, and he wanted to talk to me while he showered so I sat on the counter in the bathroom. I got a little antsy so I started dancing and doing some pilates moves (see above) while we talked--he's used to this. Then I got the idea to try putting my hands on the counter and walking my legs up the wall. It worked better than I expected and I found myself upside down facing the shower door. "Look at me," I said as if I were a 6-year-old. The funny thing is that Dan peeked out the shower door expecting to see our 6-year-old Caitlin, but all he saw was me doing a "hand stand" on the counter. The look on his face made me giggle so hard I cried. He said to me, "Normal 30-year-olds don't say 'look at me'." I retorted that I'm not 30 yet, so I guess I have a about 6 more months to act like a 6-year-old. Anybody else ever go bananas?

ROFLOL! My kids do this! They spread-eagle and walk up my door frames. We're staying at good friends' house (surrogate grandparents to my kids) and I found my five year old climbing up the hallway walls! I was shocked...but impressed. LOL!

Wow! I can't believe you can do those moves. I'm with Jen. Sitting indian style is a feat!
