We’ve eaten pizza, cake, ice cream and chips. Noah has opened presents and played with them. The boys have held contests for several disgusting bodily noises and smells. Everyone jumped on the trampoline. The girls have fled to the quiet and calm of their grandparents’ house. Doug juggled and now I am encouraging everyone to […]
Do you have your towel with you today? Thanks Joe
Happy 10th Birthday Noah!
I need spy themed activities to keep 4 10-year-olds busy during a sleepover. How about wire-tapping the neighbors? Building and using pin-hole cameras? Steaming open the principal’s mail?
