Buddies

Reed was thrilled to have a friend over to play this afternoon.  His buddy, Travis, came over for some playtime fun.  They completely destroyed the play room, but how can you be upset with those happy faces!

Bunch of fun

We had a relaxing evening with our favorite neighbors to enjoy the Good Friday extra day off.  All the kids played upstairs quietly, and we should have known they were up to something.  I went upstairs to assess the situation, and I found them all having a blast while destroying the playroom.  Thing is, I love it.  I am so glad this huge room is getting some use and making some fun memories.  Ryland and Charlie were very secretive about what they were up to, but I have a feeling it will end in tears.

 

Grace was sitting quietly reading in the rocking chair.

 

Travis and Reed had emptied the toy box and climbed in.  Who needs toys?

 

By the end of the night, everyone was worn out.  We started Horton Hears a Who, and we soon had droopy eyes.

Playing kitchen

 

The boys were on a terror roll this afternoon.  In hopes of distracting them from the constant bickering, we all headed upstairs to the play room.  I was thinking there are tons of toys, so surely they will find something fun to play with.  Of course they both wanted to play kitchen!

After pushing the kitchen from one side of the room to the other and back, the kitchen found a spot in the middle of the room.  They then argued about who would sit in what chair and what side of the kitchen they would play with.  I tried to let them work it out, but I had to intervene when they started getting physical.  I asked what was going on, and Ryland had to tell me all about it.  He was so worked up, and he was moving his hands explaining how Reed wasn't playing kitchen right.  Ah, now I get it.
