Empty houses make fun places

Last Saturday morning, before we unloaded the big yellow truck, the grand kids had a wonderful time in the empty living room. These pictures aren't the most exciting but the only ones because my memory card was soon full (see yellow truck below.) Notice that the harlequin design left by the carpet cleaner has been pretty much obliterated by the tiny feet which ran around and around in a circle. I also tried to explain how to play freeze tag. Unfortunately they all seemed to agree that I was the only one who should freeze and that got old pretty fast!

We removed sparkly stars left behind on the walls of Sadie's old bedroom when she was a baby and now Raymond's new bedroom. They were soon in the process of putting those stars on the LR wall.

Henry loved all the activity whizzing about him. The best picture, which was missed, was when all three of the mobile ones flopped onto their stomachs facing Henry. He was quite impressed and shared with them his "goat" laugh. Janae shared with us that one of her first vivid childhood memories is of running in circles in just such an empty house before we moved in.

Ruby makes me nervous in that last picture! I'm glad all the cousins had so much fun together in the empty house.
