This is the sound at my house; and probably will be going on for quite a while. Guess what the kids started last night. No, not the drums - that would be my worst nightmare and something I would have a hard time supporting.
The real answer is....
Judo!
The sound, "thump, thump, boom" is the sound of them practicing their falls upstairs in the family room.
They LOVE it!!! I sent 3 nervous kids out the door with Bret and had 3 excited and rambunxious (I don't believe in spellcheck, by the way) kids rush back in the door 2 hours later. Yep, I think this might actually be something my kids will really get into. And we found a really AMAZING place to teach them. I hate those strip mall little Karate places. You walk in and come out missing and arm and a leg. Plus, you don't get to actually watch your child during the lessons. I'm not even going to go into the large class sizes and the extreme competetive learning. Although, if the only time you got to see your kiddo performing Karate is at tournaments, then I guess I'd be pushing for all the tournys I could get. I mean honestly, I'd like to actually see my "arm and leg" being put to good use.
So anyway, this place is laid-back and family oriented. They let you sit there and watch your sweetkins. In fact, Bret is going to take the class with them. :) It seems to be something really GREAT! Livvy is too small, but she is excited for when she is big enough to take classes.
At this very moment she is talking to me about Party Bear (one of her stuffed animals) and if he can take Judo classes too. I told her that animals don't go to Judo class. She responded, "I have a good idea, they could go to Animal Judo. You know, it's right here at our house."
I laughed and replied, "Yes, and you can be their teacher."
She liked that idea.
So as of right now I have a Judo Cutie, 2 Judo Punks, a Judo Wannabe, and a Judo Party Bear with others soon to join the Animal Judo class. Purply (a bunny) has shown some interest. :)

You'll have to include pictures. That sound so fun. Remind my kids not to pick fights with them. I would hate for my kids to go "thump, thump, boom".
YES!!! I remember your mohawks - your two judo punks! It IS in the water! How fun! I've wanted to get the kids into something - but not really competative! Sounds like fun! Can't wait to who throws who down the stairs first! LOL!
Oh my gosh! We totally want to do something like that with our boys when they get older. I think that it is good for them in so many ways. It sounds like they had fun!
