On Top of the World! Okay, the Fridge.

Our house can be a little strange at times.  While we seem to be a very normal family, we do very crazy things over here!  One of those things is sitting on top of the fridge.  You should see the look on other people's faces when my kids ask to sit up there.  I know they are wondering if they should smile along with us or go in the bathroom and call CPS.  Either way, we're crazy and we're kinda okay with it!

The 'sitting on top of the fridge' thing started when we remodeled our kitchen.  Damien put Michael and Claire up there and they thought it was sooooo funny.  Well, Matthew and Emily watched them for years and have now followed their lead!  When Matthew was younger, he as a bit hesitant.  Now he loves it!  Emily prefers to sit on the fridge more than she prefers to sit on a chair.  Either way, the whole family has fun with it!  On this particular occasion, the kids were getting ready for bed.  Hence, Emily's diaper.  Hey, I have an idea.  Let's rile the kids up before we put them down for the night.  Yahoo!!!

There is always an adult standing by in case we have a jumper.  So far, no one has been injured performing this complicated, yet stupid stunt.  All small kids, cousins, and small adults (clearly from neither of our gene pools) are welcome to take a ride on the Swendsen fridge.  Giddy Up!
