Bounce or Air Hockey




We went to Bounce Off the Walls or something like that today.  The kids had a great time.  It was a toss up between the bounce houses, slides and air hockey.  Look out mom, we may be over to play some more air hockey.  Anya must have gone on the big slide 40 times.  She would just sneak back in the front of the line when she was done, unless I caught her then about 50% of the time Marina or I would tell her to go to the back of the line.  She cracked me up with her sly smile...  Marina and I did all the bouncy stuff and played some air hockey and just kind of hung out.  Ivan was teaching the boys how to do back flips in the bounce houses.  Pretty proud of his back flips and high scoring air hockey games.

I set up a craft table down stairs so they can make things whenever they want.  It's been a big hit with the girls and with my kids.  The girls decorated pictures from chuck-e-cheese, in their notebooks, with tons of stickers.  The boys played soccer and basket ball all afternoon.  We tried to get the kids to watch Star Wars with Ethan, but it just didn't hold their attention.  I think they must need to know the story or characters to watch without the language.  Oh, well.

I was just going to call you to bring them over for pool and air hockey and picking leaves! Glad the day was busy. xoxo

Wow, Carlin!! What a pace you keep! These kids will never want to leave. They're lucky to have you as their host.
