The kids napped late this afternoon which usually means they go to bed late if I don't help them get all their energy out before hand. Since Andrew worked late tonight and it was up to me to put the kids to bed by myself, I wanted it to go as smoothly as possible. So I came up with this energy burning activity. The kids are too young to actually jump rope the traditional way. This was a fun way alternative way to run, jump, and duck under the jump rope.
 |
| All you need are some streamers, a jump rope and some tape. |
 |
| Cut some streamer pieces and tape them to the jump rope. I tied one end to the door know and held the other end. Hannah and Ethan patiently waited. |
 |
| They squealed as they ran through the streamers over and over. |
 |
| On your marks, get set.... |
 |
| This is a picture of Hannah jumping over, not stomping on the streamers. |

| Ethan trying to remove a streamer. |
 |
| Hannah decided in the end to use a fallen streamer as a belt. This was fun and I am sure it did get rid of some energy. However, they did not go to bed well. Oh well!! |

How fun! Love the pictures of your adorable kids! We have a birthday tradition at our house where we put streamers on the birthday persons bedroom door. That is always a HUGE hit!
