Family Game
After having a Sunday lesson it was time for a family game. We went for Risk. Tim eliminated himself early, though his sound effects were the best.
Maggie dominated Melissa, and then David eliminated her completely.
Then Maggie started to roll nothing but high numbers. This picture represents about how David felt after having lost triple the people over a period of two turns when he was attacking.
Maggie put up a valiant fight, but it the end, met an army of zombies from Africa and Brittian which took her down.
Susanna enjoyed the show.

Rum-pa-pum-pum
While Grandpa was out and about in our neighborhood, he came upon a yard sale. His find has brought great laughs, fun and creativity. We've had no headaches, yet, possibly because I'm so excited to be playing it myself that the children banging on it is almost music to my ears.
Set up is as close as we can figure out to being right.
Tim drums a beat.
One of the delightful laughs.
Ami bouncing while Tim drums. (Notice the knit winter gloves on her feet? Those make them "Monkey Feet." Really quite a funny play time around here.)

Technology
So I was adding a new blog to our blog list today and somehow unbeknownst to me, I deleted our "Blog List" with everyone's blog address. If I haven't looked at it within the week, it's not on my history. So many addresses are lost. Please let me know your blog address again so we can keep in touch. -Melissa

Spiderman
Tim's favorite clothing are his spider-man undies and pajamas. How does he do when there are real spiders, man?
I was changing in the back room, and Tim hollered through the door that there was a spider in the house. I ask him to watch it so we could kill it once I got out. He said okay.
A moment later I heard his pre-pubescent yell, "IT'S MOVING"!
"I'll be out in just a second." I responded, "Are you still watching it?"
"YES!"
When I came out, I saw Tim, standing on a stool, in the bathroom, leaning with his head around the corner.
"Where's the spider?" I asked.
"Down there!!!" He pointed 15 feet down the hall towards the kitchen.
"I thought you were watching it?"
"I am! It's down there."
Oi vey.
