The Games We Play

Game #1 How Many Boys?
Mom carries Logan & Fisher around together, usually from upstairs to downstairs. Fisher counts and points to each boy and feels important.

Game #2 How Many Boys?
Mom piles Logan and Fisher on lap together. They laugh and hug and squeal with delight until Logan plants a slobbery kiss on Fisher's face, Fisher gets grossed out, demands "Down. Go go," and pushes Logan out of the way to escape.

Game #3 How Many Boys?
Mom holds Logan & Fisher in front of mirror together. Logan says "Hah hah hah" (hi) repeatedly to himself and Fisher singsongs "Hi baby, hi baby, hi baby," until Fisher squishes Logan's face, Logan grabs Fisher's mouth, and mom tries to insert her head between the two for damage control.

Game #4 Some People Never Learn
Mom tries to teach Logan how to make the 'pbpbpbpb' lip version of blowing rasberries as a drier alternative to the 'thpthpthpthp' spitting version. Fisher thinks this looks fun and tries too. The end result is mom with baby spit all over her face. Every time.

Game #5 Jealousy
Not as fun as the others. Self-explanatory.

Game #6 Ignorance Isn't Bliss
Mom writes about little boys while they "share" toys, whining ensues, Logan rolls himself under the computer chair, and Fisher wedges himself between mom and the keyboard. Stubborn mom moves Fisher aside, picks up Logan, and tries to finish typing with one hand. Fisher and Logan cry. Mom frowns. Game over.

Game #7 Love is in the Air
Mom gets Logan a bottle and Fisher a drink, and all is well with the world again.

It just makes your eyes bleed? What about your ears?

Wow..it still whigs me out that you have 5 kids! And you still seem somewhat sane most of the time. That is quite and accomplishment. :)

Kristi, I know! It's a little bit blurry, but I am trying to keep my sanity by letting less important things slide...tricky.

BTW, Melanie's comment is referring to my reaction to a freaky kids show, Yo Gabba Gabba. Seen it? It is bizarre and possibly worse than the late 90's appearance of Teletubbies. Yikes.

Haha. I just read my comment. Keeping my sanity... that only works SOME days.
