The kids were amazing. These kids don't have tv's in their lives. Now and again, via computer, their mom and dad let them watch magic schoolbus or a couple of other kid shows. As a result they totally know how to occupy themselves. At breakfast they played I Spy (in a most interesting way I might add). They played creatively with their toys and made up other games, never once even thinking about watching tv. It was pretty amazing. They are 4 and 7.
That being said, Aryn, April and I decided it was time they saw Finding Nemo. And boy was that a fun adventure to share with them. Fenton was totally okay with it but Bruce, the shark, scared the crap out of poor Elise. But she survived and we all enjoyed the happy ending. Then we watched Aryn and April's fave, Its a Bug's Life. And that was totally enjoyed too. Soo much fun.
We coloured, read books, played with playdough, made rice krispie squares, made banana bread, had looooong bubble baths, dug holes with a new shovel he got for xmas, danced with a giant doll she named Claire and on and on. A great couple of days.
Now its getting late, my cough has become deeper and more annoying, and I am hungry. Jeez! Why? This is Christmas…when you spend six days stuffed to the gills. TTYL
That sounds like SO much fun!
