Being With

The days are so full, I'm afraid things will get lost in the shuffle...there have been fashion shows...

(quite studious models, don't you think?) - there have been new games! Colorku, a version of sudoku, using color instead of numbers; it's getting a thumbs-up from kids and grownups...

UNO Attack! Cribbage, Quiddler, cards of all sorts...my sister's new Wii has gotten broken in, much to the amusement of us all, so there has been bowling, golf, boxing, skiing, skateboarding, um, flapping? and even yoga...There has been quite a bit of Hogwarts play among the cousins - they got out the quills and some ink and wrote some essays...

Ani's new Family Pastimes Princess game (another thumbs-up for creativity, though it is over too soon)...

and of course there was some sort of a Play...

The four parents were given a night out (um...to play Quiddler at the local pub) while the kiddos hung out with Mormor, who taught them all a few songs on the bells, in between making them dinner and putting in a movie, so there was a concert tonight before bed!

Mind you, this is only the inside documentation.  We got out for hikes yesterday and today, but I think I'll save those photos for another post.  Tomorrow is their last day here and already I'm feeling so sad (though technically that means that we still have one quarter of their visit left, doesn't it?) It always sounds like so much time and always feels like it goes by so quickly...
