Mattress surfing

You have to admit that even the name sounds fun, doesn't it? So the other day we spent some time rearranging bedrooms and in the process ended up with an extra mattress. So the kids asked if they could do some mattress surfing. With the thought of Julie Andrews gracefully "surfing" down her grand staircase in Princess Diaries 2, I said, sure, why not. For those of you interested in trying this let me just give you a bit of advice.

#1 The longer the staircase the better and
#2 make sure there's enough space between the last step and the wall to prevent this.......





Luckily, the wall got the worst of it. That's Liv showing off her circle wound, although, I don't know if you can see it.
I have to say, I must have still been thinking about Julie Andrews when I saw the hole because I didn't even get angry. After all, it was an activity I ok'd. Trying to put a positive spin on this, I think Hubby will give Liv a lesson in drywall repair. At least, she'll learn a Life Skill for her home school requirements.

C'est la vie
