When Grandma Dory comes to visit--there is one thing you can always count on doing.
Playing games...
board games,
card games,
she is "game" to play any game.
(although cards are her personal favorite)
My kids think it is WONDERFUL to watch movies and play games so much.
(Although you can't tell from the look on his face, Zach was having a great time. I think we had to rescue some cards from his death grip and he wasn't too happy about it.)
These past two weeks have been a good reminder that we need to take more time--to just do nothing--
to play games together and watch movies and just be silly.
(Sitting to watch a movie or play a game without simultaneously cleaning or folding laundry is not a personal strength.)
We thought we would take Grandma to do one of our favorite things while she was here to visit.Call us crazy, but we Michiganders love to get Slurpees at 7-eleven.
even in the winter--even when it isn't even 20 degrees outside.
Brrrr....
Our favorite part isn't eating the Slurpees, it's watching Zach tear through 7-Eleven towards the Slurpee machine screaming "SLURPEE! SLURPEE!" at the top of his lungs.
The cashier usually gets a huge smile on her face as she watches Zach round the corner.
More than once --Zach has not been charged for his Slurpee.
At the machine, we ask him what color he wants. He usually selects a wide variety of flavors and the final concoction is a painful experience for anyone else to taste. But Zach, he loves his Slurpees.
This child would do almost anything for a trip to the 7-eleven.
