Story Time...

Late at night when the kids are sleeping and the house is blissfully quiet I find myself reflecting on all the funny things they have done during the day. That's why, it's my favorite time to blog and record our family memories.

Ally and Mo Mo

Russ and Libs

With all the rain over the last couple weeks we've had to get more creative with our time. Our funny little people recently (on their own) started this new game and it literally has me rolling on the floor laughing. They sit at the kitchen counter and play "story time."

Story time begins with Russ YELLING out, "ONCE UPON A TIME...." and goes something like this....

Russ:

"ONCE UPON A TIME there was a BIG red dragon and he flew up into the clouds and found a castle."

Russell Man

Libby:

"MY TURN, MY TURN..."

"Once upon a time there was a dragon and he saved a Princess. The Princess is named Libby."

Elizabeth

Ally:

"It's my turn!"

Libby:

"No, it's Molly's turn!"

Ally and Libby

Me:

"It's Ally's turn. Go ahead, Ally."

Ally Boo Boo

Ally:

"Once Upon a time in a land far away the Princess Libby had a Princess sister named Ally and they had a pet Dragon and the dragon drank fire! The end."

Molly:

CRYING.."What about me? That's not the end, it's MY turn!"

Me:

"That's right, it's Molly's turn."

Molly Mo Mo

Molly:

"Okay, once upon a time the dragon named Russell flew away. The end."

Russell:

"My turn my turn!"

"Once Upon a time a big dragon ate the Princess Libby!!"

Russell Man

Libby:

"Wha? Russell!!!! THAT IS NOT VERY NICE! My turn mommy!"

This game goes on and on and on and on....

What I can't get over is how well each child seems to (sort of) pick up where the story left off. It's hysterical! The more they play this game the better they get. I just LOVE the watching their little minds hard at work. It's my favorite part about his age!!

Of course, despite the rain, we've spent plenty of time outside too! Puddle jumping and muddy messes are a must. Singing in the rain could be our new theme song!! ;)

I hope your all having a great week!
