My brain was busy thinking about the HGE, so I completely forgot to post a few weekend pictures of the MN cousins after they left our house on Saturday. Better late than never.
As soon as they got here, all four cousins sat down on the floor in front of the Christmas scene print I had gotten out to put on the wall for the holiday season. They launched into a serious discussion about whether the Pilgrims lived in the village, if one of the boats was the Mayflower, and other historical and art-related issues of interest to preschool, kindergarten, and second grade students.
The crazy boys had to find something physical to do, so they formed a herd and hog-piled Daddy/Uncle Charlie. Thanks, Annie, for the pics!
H and V were busy playing with their baby cousin in Baltimore, but we wish they'd been here, too, for the snow fun on the North hill. The kiddos were rosy-cheeked, soaking wet, and ready for hot chocolate and ice cream bars after their sliding adventure.
The cousins love to play "Telephone", that old-fashioned game we all played as kids (Yes, telephones had been invented when I was a child.). They often play it by saying just one word rather than a phrase, and Westy loves to be the guy who whispers the message first.
Poor quality photo here, but I need to give a shout out to Tanner, hammer in hand, and Charlie, hands on the wall, for taking down my framed alphabet, rearranging nails, and hanging the Christmas print so I didn't have to put my life in danger to do it myself -- or put Dad/Larry/Gpappy's life in danger by making him help me. I'm not sure why there is such an eerie quality to this photo. It is partly because it's not a clear shot, but what's up with that strip of soft gray fuzz above Charlie's hands? Spooky. Thanks, TG and CP.
I can't resist this picture of H and V trying on glasses at the airport on their way to Baltimore on Thursday. When are they EVER this serious?!
An before I forget, thanks to Don and Janet for a relaxing and yummy Thanksgiving Day at their home in Forest Lake.
