Games

Audrey has taken a sudden interest in board games.  During this long period at home with nothing to do after school we've done a lot of game playing.  More recently she has decided that she would prefer to make her own.  This one was a game devoted to saving the princess with a knight, a witch, and a battle dame included.  She never ceases to amaze me with her creativity, it has sustained us through the long days. So far she has rewritten Alice in Wonderland as a play which Paul and I have taken part in acting out,  built an airport security check point for her figurines, created plays starring barbies for her barbies to watch, and read countless books. She has also written countless stories, had a few melt downs (haven't we all), taken countless walks and scooter rides with me, had a few water fights, learned a little about archery which prompted her to make her own bow and arrows, and made dozens of versions of hopscotch.   Together we grew tiny plants with seeds and made a garden that seems to be doing fairly well and added some flowers to our flower bed.  Over all I feel like we have done our best to stay sane during the crazy over the last few months.  We look forward to hopefully a long beautiful summer in the sun ahead of us.  Nothing brings more smiles than the sun and spending more time outside.
