Gymnastic Practice

So my two younger girls are enrolled in gymnastics.  They love it.  They have way too much fun there, and they go 3x's a week.  The days they don't go, they practice at home with hubby.  Did you know that my hubby used to take gymnastics? Yep! Remember he can do just about anything!!

He always tells the kids that he can do anything.  If they can do it.. Hey what do you think? Of course I can, he says!! hahaha..

So we get home and boom my kids want to take the extra mattress we have and practice gymnastics.  We pull it out and Papito gets down on his knee and starts to spot them as they back bend over his knee and he helps them kick their legs over.  He begins coaching them how to do it when they then say... If you know how to do it. Show us!! He says.. Hey come on now, of course, Papito knows how to do it.  I am the Princess, remember? (The kids started calling him the Princess since they met him.  They are the Queens and he is the Princess..." We all laugh over it..

So Papito steps up onto the mattress puts his arms up over his hands... And realizes, wait I am way too old to do this..  So I go, here I will spot you.. I go to grab his waist but he is so ticklish, he falls backwards.  He jumps up and says.. I know what we can do.. Goes into the kitchen comes out with the mop, and my maid.  "Here you hold this side he says to her, and you hold this side he says to me.  He then tries to backbend over the mop.  We die with laughter that we end up dropping him onto the mattress.  We are now all rolling in laughter.  He says.. Don't laugh, I've got this! I used to practice gymnastics! I can do this!  He goes into the bathroom, and this is what he comes out with!!

 So he goes into the bedroom, grabs a pillow and a belt and straps the pillow onto his back.  He said the stick was hurting his back but now he was ready.  HAHAHA I couldn't even keep the camera from shaking, I was laughing so hard, I don't know how any of us could keep a straight face.  I am sure I burned 1,000 calories that day from laughing so hard!!!

Here is the princess giving orders, who needs to stand where, and how they are going to hold the stick..

And here they go.. going to hold the mop so that he doesn't fall.  lol.. He's telling them, to slowly lower it, and if his hands aren't reaching the mat to let it go!!! hahaha.. Long story short, he never was able to do a backbend, and of COURSE it was not because he "can't" do them, it was that the "help" lacked and it was all our fault cause we didn't know how to hold the mop!!

THIS IS WHY I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!! hehehehehe <3 So In-Love
