Our nephew, P, came over a couple weekends ago to play with us. He's a great guest to have because he plans out the whole afternoon AND he even brings snacks!! ;) He came toting swords and a treasure box filled with treasure!We made maps with burned edges and all, and then we took turns hiding the treasure box and finding it around the house.
Somehow we decided to use cans to make a "telephone" -- which I'd never done before. (I think I was actually skeptical on whether it truly worked on not...)
The original one only stretched across the living room... but soon, we thought it would be cool to make a really, really long one!
This one stretched up the block a ways! AND it still worked (even though the volume turned to a bit of a whisper)...After playing outside for a while, we decided we'd head in for some Harry Potter and snacks. 6 year olds are funny to watch movies with... we fast forwarded and then went back. We paused. Then we decided that we should actually watch the second movie ;) Now, I've been itching to sit down and watch them all (or at least up to the 5th one, as that's the last book I've read in the series).
(I quickly uploaded these photos on my computer the night before I was to leave for my trip home last week... Tonight, I bumped in to P and my sister-in-law and remembered I had them to share! Soon, I won't be bumping into them & we'll have no weekend play time, because they will be moving across the country - and although we are sad to see them go, I have to say I'm excited to hear about this new, fun adventure... WHICH MEANS - Jac, you must keep your blog updated! ;)
