STAIRS & BUCKETS

You know we always expected our girls to behave properly when we were gone. You know, use common sense, be safe. How stupid can two parents be?

We went out for the evening and Kelsey was baby sitting her siblings. We instructed her on the evenings activities and left with happy hearts. The kids were having pizza and we were off to a well deserved adult dinner. What we came home to was disturbing, to say the least.

We have a two story house. The upstairs railing is open to a vaulted ceiling. Not a problem for us when a parent is home. Big problem when one is not.

The girls had a rope over the railing and had tied it to a bucket and were playing what they termed as "elevator".

Yep, one daughter would get in the bucket and the others would lower her down to the first floor. DANGER, DANGER, DANGER. Kelsey what were you thinking? You or your sisters could have been seriously injured or worse. This is not OK.

She looked at me and in all seriousness said "Mom, do you know how hard it is to keep these kids entertained?"

Uhhh . . . no, Kelsey I don't.
