We had an all too brief visit with my sister, who finally chose ME to visit during her summer vacation week for the first time in eight years. Cousins had a lovely time playing together. Funny thing was, I noticed as they were leaving that they had not needed or asked for any toys the whole week, and I had confiscated all the toys, dolls and blocks days before. They made do with paper and pens, and finding bugs outside! 🙂 We’ll see whether the lack contributes to any unusual mischief when there are no cousins to distract, but I’m thinking the toys are going to stay up for a while!

The family resemblance among your relatives is so strong!When we were in California, the kids had a blast playing all day WITHOUT TOYS for TWO WEEKS. Yeah, makes a mama think. And now that we’re back, John is all about asking throughout the day, “So, what are we going to do now?” all bored and floppy-like.
