Burning Energy

Now that school is in session, life has become QUITE different in Brownieville! Our brownies are almost unrecognizable after school. They've always been very active, but since school started, they come home and it's worse. Turtle is certainly not slow! He seems like he's become an ADHD monster - he can't hold still, he doesn't focus, he is in constant, crazy, noisy motion! Marshmallow isn't as bad, but she's definitely got more energy than she needs. It comes out in giggles. Sugar Daddy and I have had our hands full and our sanity nearly removed trying to deal with their high energy level. So, here are some of the things we do to remove the energy from their bodies.

Daddy is teaching Marshmallow to ride her bike...
It's fun to watch her learn. She's full of giggles and so excited to be doing it, but Daddy has to be right there every minute to catch her. And she loves to look all over everywhere which means she wobbles all over the place. Luckily, Daddy is very dependable at keeping her from having a hard fall.
 Sometimes he needs a break.
Here's Turtle on Daddy's ripstick! He's become quite proficient at wiggling his way down the sidewalk, street, or in this case, around the parking lot. Luckily a local park has an extra parking lot in the back that's usually mostly deserted.
 They also have a sandbox. Children have been know to be buried in it... This time it was Turtle. They even had other kids helping to bury him.

 He didn't let them bury him too much though.
Marshmallow on the other hand helped them bury her until she was in enough that she couldn't help. And she giggled the entire time!
