Mox and Keen got some quality time with Aunt Bear and Justin. During this trip we also learned that both Justin and Strider have an incredible hatred of Tupperware. Good to know.
Tag: Aunt Bear
We have had a couple of activity wins this weekend. Moxie is a great laundry unfolder, toy remover and all around uncleaner. She’s cute but hard to keep busy when you are trying to clean. This weekend we tried two activities.
The first: green foam block and golf tees was an idea of Aunt Bear’s. It worked great. Kept her busy for about 30 minutes with no help from us but showing her how to play. Drawback: she figured out she could crumble the foam and marched around the house leaving a trail of green behind her.
The second are brainbows we bought at a science store that grow to 200x their size and (theoretically) shrink back to the tiny balls after drying out. So wet they are the size of marbles and dry they are the size of pin heads. Anyway they are soft and pretty and really fun to play with. Drawback: they bounce all over. We will probably be cleaning up rainbow pin heads for a week.
No activity is awesome and mess free. We realize that. Mostly.
This week we had a visitor: Aunt Bear (or as Mox says, “Beh”)! She stayed with Mox and Jess while Strider went to a conference in Colorado. It was wonderful. We went to the zoo, a graveyard, on walks, to music class, and even survived because Bear was here. Seriously. It would have been a mess without her.
