"Jump"...

Some nights...

the kids just seem to have a little too much built up energy...

energy reserves...

bubbling over...

leaking out of all of their pores...

On those nights, they ask if they can "jump".

That means they climb up on the ottoman and.... well... jump.

Over and over and over and over...

Up, down, up, down...

...until they have worn themselves out and mom can't stand the noise of them landing on the floor...

and it is time to go to bed...

Awwwwww.....
