This week is spring break, and we are taking full advantage of it. No, we haven't gone out of town to some vacation get-a-way or to visit family. We're not spending our days biking at the lake (though that would be fun). Yesterday the kids and I spent the whole day just playing. We started out with Mario Kart and then moved on to building a hotel out of Legos! We had so much fun and we laughed A LOT! Dinner, dishes, and any other sort of housekeeping had to wait until 4:00. It's been a while since I've just sat on the floor and played with my kids for such a long time.
Days like that are good for the soul!
Here's a picture of the hotel:
Totally impressive hotel!
ReplyDeleteYou are my hero, Becky! I love the way that you have fun with your kids.
ReplyDeleteWe will have to coordinate with Mario Kart; we finally have a working Wii. Yay!
Can I just say that it is so cool the hotel is a SIX star hotel. Also, I assume the the 1/2 of a person in the blue area is in a swimming pool. Clever!
PJ--thanks! It was fun building it. We'll need to invest in more doors and windows if we ever want to build something bigger.
ReplyDeleteAngie--You noticed! The half-person swimming was the kids' doing, so they get the credit for that. You are a gifted observer. You can't see it in the picture, but the pool area is totally closed off and has a ladder to get out, a diving board and its own door. And don't you just love the little garden? Oh, and I can't wait to challenge you at Mario Kart!
Louis--Thanks for visiting my blog! And you are so right! Sometimes we do need to quit worrying about this and that. I have to remember that I can't be a good children's writer without getting down to their level. And it sure helps me be a better mom too!
The garden is adorable!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I conquer the feat of hooking up the Wii to wireless then we will be set to go. Game on!
