Pillow Tag

I have a nice treadmill. I never use it. Basically I just get bored when I run on it, so I don't do it very often. (I think I've used it three times this year. So much for my New Years Resolution!!) However, my two children help me to keep in shape even without the treadmill.

This morning, we decided to play pillow tag. I learned several things doing this.
1. I need to use my treadmill more, because I am really out of shape.
2. We have WAY to many pillows in our house.
3. Teagan cheats and makes up his own rules, so don't count on any rules when playing with him. (Maybe that's how he always wins in Candy Land)

So how do you play? Do you just run around and hit each other with pillows? No. The pillows are the bases. I just tossed all our pillows down the stairs and then we to stay on the pillows and chase each other. Touching the floor is a big "No-No" (Or so I thought at the beginning. Teagan kinda went from jumping on the pillows to running around them. Hey kid, whatever floats your boat.) We had a lot of fun! Heidi is just getting over pink eye, a cold and an ear infection, so after about one round of the living room, she just decided she should be a road block, so that pillow was out of bounds, until she picked another pillow to lay on. (Yes, I did have to wash all the pillow cases because she dripped green stuff on each and every pillow!!) After we finished playing pillow tag, we did one of the things that I loved to do when I was growing up. We piled all the pillows up at the bottom of the stairs and jumped on it. Even Heidi got in on the action! (I'm amazed that they never landed on each other!)
