Indoor Activities

Need:

*Dominoes
*Eccentric children

The kids discovered a brilliant game today. I left them in the room with some dominoes and when I came back I discovered that they had divided them up between themselves and they were each sitting on little piles of them. When I asked them what they were doing they said they were birds and those were their eggs. They sat still on their “nests” for a delightfully long time, giving us all an unusually quiet afternoon…the blessings of Animal Planet :)

Xavi (2): “I’m having blue birds! And Kaylee is having ostriches! And Jono is having snakes”

Me:“Wow! When will they hatch?”

Xavi: (quizzical stare)

Me: “Are your eggs hatching?”

Xavi: “Yes, mine are catching! Because they like to catch fish!”
