This little guy came to visit while his parents went to Costco. He loves hanging out on that mattress with his cousins. He kept looking from one face to the next, playing with all the toys they handed him.
Video games and painting:
They found a bag of Barbie dolls and asked about them. I bought them last winter after Christmas on clearance for three dollars each, purchased for the lake next summer. But there's nothing magical about taking them to the lake. If they wanted to open them up now, that's fine.
They put aside one for each of the cousins who wasn't there, and they argued and each picked out another. Good enough.
Julia's doing homework:
They wanted to play McDonald's.
I kind of hate this game because it is shockingly messy and annoying.
And yet, as Dan and I discussed, we're always wishing they'd get off the tablets and do something creative and all.
Sigh.
Elin was super into this game. She LOVED it. They heated up the leftover chicken nuggets and fries from supper and made Happy Meals to dispense out the window in the door to the family room.
They brought a little container of bath tub toys and asked if they could put them in the meals?
(Jesus, why?)
I said ok.
They did put the toys each in separate bags, ziplocked, just like McDonald's does.
Good thing.
Elin was the first customer.
They served her a Hawaiian bun and she LIKED it.
Those are the Happy Meals
And a late night game of chess:
Thanks all you kids for a splendid Saturday night.
Love, Grandma
