Bubble Kids

They are so happy in this plastic bubble at McD’s Playland. Maybe we could make one at home and keep them inside it.

Probably not, but it is good fun.

Taking care of dad

The kids brought the entire contents of their beds out to pile on top of Eric.

They brought out the step stool so they could pile on the top layers.

Sidenote: New fun lunchtime game discovery for today is “identify the half-eaten animal cracker” game. Take a bite eating no more tan half the cracker and then ask others at the table what animal it is you have.

Loss

Two siblings sharing an iPad and playing some puzzle games in the laundry basket.

Then squabbling over which game to play and who gets to hold the iPad results in loss of iPad privileges.

Ezri is so upset she does not want to be seen. Ivan is wailing, “NOOOOO! iPad! iPad!”

Ivan tried the lower lip pout and Ezri refused to come out, but the iPad was not returning.

Ezri returned to us, but she was not happy either.

The kids were then given books to read in the laundry basket and they stayed together in there lifting the flaps to find Sesame Street characters for quite awhile. Peace returned, though the iPad did not.

Indoor Playspaces are a must.

Ezri took her little brother up into the structure and they tandem slid a few times until she declared, “Ivan, you can do it all by yourself.” And he did.

Bitter Cold

Bitter cold means a need for inside fun. Here’s Eric and Ezri constructing a Lego Friends bakery.
Ezri can now follow a schematic (with some help from Eric).

Baby’s first organized RPG

Lizardmen are invading and threaten to overrun Ponyville. Team Pony, which includes a griffin and a Spider Queen, must stop them.

Before the role play, the girls were styling the ponies. Ezri said, “Their hair must be extra fancy for Battle.” Lydia said, “We must do the pony’s hair so they will be ready for WAR.” They had a pre-battle fasion show too I believe.

The game almost didn’t happen due to a pitched shrieking outburst of contention over the Pinky Pie pony. But, in the end Team Pony stopped the Lizard People and Ponyville was saved. Whew! Go, Team Pony. Thanks to our friend, Rich, for being uber patient DMing with small gamers.
