No School!

"Yeah!!" say the kids, "2 weeks-no school!"
"Ugh!!" say the parents, "2 weeks of entertaining and referring."
So-we have planned-spread out over the 2 weeks: sledding, sledding, movies, swimming (Oh yes! Grandpa got a membership at a local hotel with an indoor pool & put the kids on the account!!), get togethers with friends, sledding, and did I mention, sledding!"

Denny & Mary makin' a run--

without any kids!!

Robert,

Mallory,

Kylie,

& Sophie!!

Can we get

a few more

on the sled?!

Katy, and friends!

The Moms--enough said!

Ok, we usually get together, at least once a week, go to dinner and play cards, occassionally we go to a movie-WITHOUT kids, just us grown-ups, the moms and the dads-DATE NIGHT! But, since the kids are out of the school for 2 WEEKS-we need to entertain them. Here we are having game night WITH the kids!

Our friend, Vicki, brought a fun game for the kids-you put a dab of vaseline on your nose, then without using your hands or you mouth, you move a set number of cotton balls into your bowl. The first one with all of their cotton balls in their bowl wins! The hardest part was getting the cotton ball OFF of your nose without using your hands!

The kids playing another game from Vicki, "Help your neighbor"!

We hadn't started playing cards with the adults, yet, so guess where Denny ended up! Yep-he's snagged the Guitar Hero from the kids, AGAIN!!

Finally, grown-up game table: ImaginIFF... A new game that Vicki & Jason brought, a change from our usual Hand & Foot card game (Do you know how hard it is to find a game that 4 couples can play?!) It was really fun and funny!!



I forgot to mention-we still had dinner before the games: Delicious Soup-2 different kinds, Yummy Rolls, and Desserts-Chocolate!!!

What fun we ALWAYS have, it is So Great to have such Good friends, and bonus-all of our kids are near enough in ages that they play well together--most of the time!
