I love their creativity. I try to discourage TV and video games here as well, but every time I turn around, John has bought them a new Disney or superhero movie. GAH! So far it hasn't stopped them from finding plenty of other ways to entertain themselves, though. Quinn's typically involves the refrigerator or crayons and furniture. They are hilarious!

Or pants, either, apparently. My kids would love that; they prefer Pants Optional activities. In fact, one of my TV rules is PUT SOME PANTS ON FIRST. Often, that stops them from begging to watch the tube. “No snowsuit necessary.”

His best friend was bringing home his girlfriend for the first time, and being a house full of guys they wanted to make an impression on this poor unsuspecting gal. So, another roommate yelled to let the rest of the guys know that the friend and the new gal were on their way up the driveway. My friend who really likes to make a good first impression looked around the hallway to see what he could do. He noticed a twin mattress picked it up, and rode it down the stairs as they opened the door. Got up, picked up the mattress, leaned it against the fall, got the paper off the front hall table and introduced himself as if that was the normal way to go down the stairs. Sooo-- just wait, it just gets better. A friend of mine was just out of college and living in a house with a few other guys.

And useful information for those of us without the time or inclination to ice our own bagel. The laundry basket surfing reminds me of a favorite childhood activity--crowding all three of us kids into the foot of my Dad's army surplus sleeping bag and "riding" it down our carpeted stairs. The carpet started to wear off after a while, but it's okay--it was lime green and ugly. Nobody cried. Re: bagel experiment–GREAT example of the scientific method.
