Magic

Today my little Avery came to me and said "Mom you know how dad bought you a new washer and dryer?"I say yes and am thinking how come only dad could have bought them. What is up with that? She keeps going and says "Well I am thinking I should write a letter to the people you bought it from telling them how wonderful it is." At this point I am just smiling because really how many 6 year old kids do you know have these kind of discussions with their parents? I asked her why and she responds with " It is just so amazingly quite before when I used to go to the bathroom I felt like a train was coming through there now it is so quite I hardly even know when you are doing laundry and it sings you a song when it is done. What could be better than that?" I just giggle to myself as she is walking away I hear her mumbling " seriously amazing!" What a kid!!!

Hide, Hide

Since my kids have been out of school they have created a game that they all love and only requires a large quilt or blanket. I think I have spent more time playing this game than I actually wanted too. Avery and Aidan are the inventors. Aidan is the ring leader and the one who fondly named the game "Hide, Hide"

Here are the rules.

Get the biggest blanket you can find.

Everyone pile under it and "Hide" (from what I don't know)

Giggle like crazy

It is a hit! If you have nothing to do tonight or for your next family game night give it a try.

ENJOY!
