Jimmy: “Why are my sisters shipping themselves out of here? Did I knock down one too many of their block towers?”

Need to keep kids busy for a while?
Tell them to go dry off the swing set after it rains! It doesn’t get any better than book snuggles with friends!
Although Jimmy loves to “help” the girls when they set up their dollhouse, I don’t think he has a future in decorating.
He’s much more likely to pursue demolition. The only upside to Daddy’s computer needing immediate attention from professionals?
Getting to accompany Daddy to the “store with the TVs” (i.e. The Apple Store)! First, Susie conquered her fear of the biggest slide at the park:
Next, Becky conquered her fear of the biggest slide at the park:
Finally, Jimmy just stared, slack-jawed, at the smallest slide at the park:
His time will come! French toast and “ring pops.” Breakfast of Champions!
While we were in New Hampshire this weekend, Jimmy was less interested in the snow and more interested in hanging out with his new little friend, Ellee.
Or more specifically, he was more interested in hanging out with Ellee’s food.
I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I was so happy to see snow this weekend! We packed up the gang and met some dear friends in Northern New Hampshire for a wonderful weekend of snowmobiling. While we were up there, a storm blew in and brought another 10 inches of snow, which was a much-needed addition to the trails. The kids and I mostly stayed in the cabin, but we did venture out for some good old-fashioned playtime. It’s so hard to believe we had to travel nearly up to the Canadian border before we had enough snow this winter in which to make snow angels!
The girls really enjoyed the white stuff, and honestly, I did too. It was especially fun to have a lot of snow around, but know that we would be leaving the accompanying mess and snow-related hassles behind as soon as we were done. It made snow exciting for me again, not burdensome! Of course, chances are that our next winter will wallop us with heavy snow, so I guess I shouldn’t get too attached to this snow-as-fleeting-fun model. Besides, maybe if we get lots of storms, I’ll get to see lots of these smiles!
(And yes, Becky did ride the snowmobile with her dad for a few minutes. And yes, she IS smiling about it!). |
