Wii Play

Big day around here: Caity's BFFL (best friend for life) Morgan was coming over for a playdate...actually a Wii-date. Morgan has been promised a Wii if she does some school work, and she was eager to try it out..She and Caity had a Wii-fest, and Jordan went down the street to play with Jack...even Lindsay was Wii-bowling! A day of play...exactly how spring break should be!

I will say that I am amazed at this: whenever the kids have friends over, it seems that there is actually less fighting. The friend, no matter whose it is, seems to be some kind of magic buffer that has my kids on their best behavior. So, I jump on the chance for playdates. We are blessed that our kids are very discerning on their choices of friends, and have picked great ones. Morgan, Jack, Hannah, Celena, Noah...could not ask for a better circle of friends.

Morgan is always great to have over, and she and Caity just have a blast. They are two peas in a pod, and they always include Lindsay, which is terrific. Morgan has also had some adventures at our house - Morgan got her ears pierced with us at Christmastime (with her parents permission and encouragement, plus Caity's peer pressure), has had her platinum blonde hair streaked pink for a Hannah Montana party at IKEA (it washed out easily!), and adopted Caity's hamster Fluffy. So now every time she comes to play, I jokingly promise her dad, who is great, that I will not punch any more holes in his daughter, color her hair pink, or send home any pets. He replies back that pink is OK, just no piercings or pets! We capped off the girls' playdate with dinner at CiCi's pizza. Jordan had a great time at Jack's, and ate his body weight in pizza (they always, always lose money on him, and, seriously,I don't know where that little kid puts it!). He even had salad! Green points racking up!

Simply a fun day of Spring Break...a great day for the kids, which is what it's all really about - memories of a happy childhood to carry with them throughout life...

Life is Good!
