A New Toy!!!

 That's right folks!  We bought a trampoline!  The kids have been begging for one for forever!  We were trying to decide if we were going to get a trampoline or a swing set.  We have been saving like crazy for a while, and finally had enough to get one!  My Papa and Grandma give the kids money for their birthdays, and I take them to the store and they choose out something that can be from Papa and Grandma.  Then, whatever is left, we have put in a savings account for "something fun."  We had quite a bit in the account, and coupled with a little bit else we had saved, we were ready!  I "used" my friend Kristin for her Sam's Club account, and we went on Friday to buy it!  It took forever to set up, but I think it was worth it!  
 Yep, this is me jumping on the tramp.  It lasted about that long too.  I guess having 5 kids does things to ya!  :)  My kids just make fun of me!  



 After jumping for a while, we went to McD's for some ice cream - Thanks to another Grandma!  :)  The kids got McD gift cards for Easter.  We already used it for a meal, and had a few $$ left for a treat!  Just the perfect end on a Friday night!  



Thanks Papa and Grandma for all the birthday money!!!  We love our "BIG Birthday Gift!!!"

Ohh, so fun! We are dying to get one of those. Maybe with the tax refund next year. :)
