Here’s a little flashback to some things we did in December.
We built a fantastic Kapla Block tower
…but then someone released the Cracken!
You really can make an awesome pirate hat out of Trader Joe’s Fearless Flyer
We received Qwirkle from my Grandmother and it is awesome!
We took on creative endeavors of many kinds
We discovered a roll of adding machine paper can be extremely fun
…and more fun…and more fun!
We are now proud owners of LEGOS! And boy are they FUN!
What do you do with extra Lego stickers?
We attacked Daddy with love when he got home from work!
“You mean I can have icons of all the stuff I really like on my desktop?”
“Yeah. Isn’t that cool!” (I am such an awesome mum problem solving for my child!)
Tonight at around 10pm we were playing a game which E started. This game consisted of a ball of yarn being tossed back and forth with the tosser ‘naming’ his toss (i.e. “this is my ‘super’ toss). Game starts out in my office with E jumping on the large chair* and me sitting in my computer chair. The game eventually travels down the hall and into his bedroom. Again, he is jumping while tossing, but this time on his bed and I am standing opposite him in the middle of the room. This is an hour later by the way!
Michele: “I am running out of tosses. I think I am going to have to call it quits.”
Elijah: “Quit! I’ve got a 1001 tosses in my head.”
M: “Yeah, well, you are young and have an infinite imagination. I am older and do not…as people age, they often lose their imaginations. Thankfully, we can have children and reclaim some of it.”
E: “Oh…maybe you should try having a few more children!”
M: “Maybe I should”
E: “Yeah, like a 1001 so that you never run out of tosses”
I wonder how the hubby would feel about 1001 kidlets!?!?
* Elijah informed me that jumping is how he thinks. I find this interesting, because I remember having a friend who used to have me drill her on things before a test in high school with her jumping on the trampoline, otherwise she wouldn’t remember as much for the tests. E is definately a mover and a shaker, not one to stay still for very long at all. I’m glad that he isn’t going to school or I’m sure he’d be the ‘problem child’ and be labeled with all kinds of ‘learning disabilities’, because moving helps him think and moving in school is shall we say, not allowed.
