We always find a way to have fun even when life throws us curve balls. Today, Leigh had to have an impacted, infected wisdom tooth removed in an emergency extraction. So I took my kids over to her house and the five of them played, more or less together, for several hours while Paula drove Leigh to the oral surgeon and home again.
Nate and JediBoy had fun playing all kinds of imaginary games upstairs and downstairs and in the basement. Emily and Anna enjoyed doting on BabyGirl and following her all over. All the kids had fun with the games (Apples to Apples for Kids, Race to the Roof) and toys (plastic Tinkertoys) that Paula brought over to amuse us.
Just when they were getting home, we started to see our latest winter storm hit. It’s not a lot of snow (yet) but the roads were getting slick. We left poor Leigh to fend for herself and made our way home.
The excitement of the morning drained the kids and they spent most of the rest of the day in quiet pursuits - BabyGirl took a nap, JediBoy watched a little tv and read a few books, drew a little and looked out the window at the falling snow.
