Morgan gave us a couple new books along with their Christmas gift and we had to look at them this morning. One was Silly Sally and the other one was The Mitten, both great books. The children all enjoy them. Of course, we also had to read several others in addition to the new ones.

All four of my "big kiddos" got in on the burying and being buried under the stuffed animal bears this morning. They all really enjoy both being buried and piling them on whoever is at the bottom.

All of the children were having a blast taking turns jumping on, stepping off onto and flopping on mattress. It is such a great large muscle builder and strengthener, as well as being a wonderful alternative to going outside, as far as burning off energy, and getting the rowdies out.

Of course, with play cake, cookies, and brownies out there has to be pretend cooking and eating going on.

When we switched to the back room KenIe and Morgan asked me to build them a car. I did help them build one and they played in it for most of the time we spent in that room. They even let Aaron and Riley join them, much to their delight.
