dapostrophe yay for a smooth start today! I hope it continues. All our toys are in the basement playroom or the kid’s rooms. T won’t go in the basement alone so he plays in his room a lot.

What board games are your kids playing? I'm going to order Sorry and High Ho Cherry O off Amazon, but didn't know if there were others that are good for this age. Candyland and a disney jr slides game (it has Jake and the Neverland pirates on it). |

We have Hi Ho Cherry-o, Hungry Hippos, a Rabbit Game that involves pulling carrots until the rabbit jumps out, Don't Break the Ice, and Candyland.
Oh, McDonalds has mini games in their Happy Meals this month. Last night she got a version of Mouse Trap and she thinks it is great. She and mh were playing it this morning when I was leaving.
I also just brought home Guess Who and a Jenga type game, but we haven't played them with her yet.

Thanks for the responses. I think she likes it because she can do what she wants up there without Charlie trying to interfere.
I'm glad she still on the monitor and that she doesn't spend more than 20 minutes or so away from the main level. I miss her!

Zingo is a popular game here. Uno too.
The girls play in their rooms a lot. Cass especially can play with her horses in there for hours. I'm all about quiet solitary play.

It hasn't even been 24 hours and my mom has already annoyed me. She keeps trying to get me to do jumping jacks and walk 8 miles with her. Umm...no. I already have issues and my doctor said to limit exercise due to them.

Morning!
Just hanging around and trying to figure out what's on the agenda for the week.
I do need to go pick up B's school pictures from the church office, since we were OOT when they were sent home. I'm literally running out of room to frame stuff, and I still don't have any framed from the session we did in the fall (they're printed, though! #babysteps)

Do your kids play in their rooms? Just in the last week or so, Josie has been asking to go up stairs randomly to go play with the stuffed animals in her room. She doesn't have any toys in there so she takes her hats and jewelry and sunglasses out from her closet and dresses them up. Bradley plays in his room, but we do have a toy box and some other things in there. C likes to go in there, too. Our house is all one one story, though, so they can just go without worrying about stairs, etc. |

mwhip In addition to some of the ones mentioned above, we have Popomatic Trouble (the old-school one) and B LOVES that one. It's not too terrible for parents to play, either  He also likes Bingo (he can play mostly without help now) and we have a Paw Patrol card-matching game (i've seen them with other themes) that he gets out fairly frequently.

I loved trouble so much as a kid. My great aunts came to visit from Italy when I was five, and they both spoke no English but learned to say trouble so they could play with me. I totally forgot that bingo and matching games are big fun here. Matching games Josie will play by herself, but bingo is always an ordeal. |

So with LO about 2 months before his due date my hospital called me and had me prepay for labor. This pregnancy no call. I called and was transferred to 6 different departments to only leave a voicemail. Today is going to be a lot of hold music and re-explaining what I'm trying to do.

She's fine so off to daycare she went. I dosed her with tylenol for pain. When did amoxicillin become white? The prescription we got for H was still pink a couple weeks ago. |
