Laughter at Aunt Joy's House

I'm writing my first blog!  I feel so...so...technical! 

Riley in the desert

  Well, last week was full of cleaning, cooking and family.  We had a three year old in our home for several days and boy, does that make things interesting!  He wanted to know why I was cooking, why I had dogs, why I had stripes on my shirt.  He was "spiderman" so I was tied up with imaginary spider webs all week.  We went down to our pond and played in the desert (the dirt around the pond)
  And no matter what I cooked, he always ended up with mac and cheese.
  How I loved hearing the big voice.  You know the one.  When he's a seargant and sees the enemy, his voice gets deeper, his steps get bigger and he walks around giving orders.  
And of course, there's the ever present cape (only it wasn't a cape, it was a fake beard that he tied around his neck with the beard hanging down his back).  That cape holds special powers that only kids know about.
  I pulled toys out of the closet that I haven't seen in twenty years!  They're universal.  They work for any kid in any time zone.  They worked for my boys, and now two generations later, they still hold the fascination.  (and by the way, I watched Toy Story 3 and now have a surreal attachment to them)
 So,(despite the feeling that the toys get out and play at night while no one's watching), I love watching how games, imaginations, and pretend voices are still the same in my house, even after all these years and that little boys still have fun and make memories at Aunt Joy's house.

Psalms 9:2  I will be glad and rejoice in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
