They can pull things like a tube, etc. But just driving one around and giving kids rides on them seems so fun to me! My sister and husband had some we used growing up. And we’ve rented one occasionally at Bear Lake, so I’ve thought one would be fun for a long time.

But Goldie and Daisy do a lot of the baking all of their own volition these days (as was the case here) and they are much more apt to let siblings help.<br /><br />Abe hasn’t played with the r2d2 much yet to be honest. (Perhaps that means it isn’t fun? Haha!) We will have to see when he finds more time to mess with it. I think there is something slightly more appealing to me about the rollyNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03045958241240870948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319454352626199680.post-43597978748853594102018-01-06T17:37:23.703-07:002018-01-06T17:37:23.703-07:00Ah.

I am always fighting (or not fighting) the urge to send everyone away while I cook so it will just...go...FASTER! (And less messily.) But then I see little girls in aprons and with toy rolling pins and I know that’s the way things are supposed to be, really! I love your thoughts about what all the DISorganization of it all may be teaching us!<br /><br />Our Abe got the sphero BB9e. We considered the R2D2, too. Is he fun? Abe wants to get him someday.<br /><br />I don’t know what a kneeboard is...or a wave runner, really! But it looks like something fun and water sporty, so I’m sure you’ll love it! Family gifts are such fun.<br /><br />Oh! And angel-Mette is the most delicious little angel in the world!<br />Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17085334272613025173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319454352626199680.post-39375626244367623192018-01-06T13:23:00.400-07:002018-01-06T13:23:00.400-07:00Kara -- I was surprised when I posted something ab...Kara -- I was surprised when I posted something about it on Instagram how many people commented that they'd been doing that for years. Who knew? And glad you are with my in the wave runner camp. I really have had so much fun every time we've rented one in the past!<br /><br />And Val -- yes! You always relate and see the commonalities so well! I think all of us long to feel that control. I wonder sometimes if having order and control in the physical things around me somehow helps soothe the lack of control I have in so many non tangible things of life! :)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03045958241240870948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319454352626199680.post-58779180753596535592018-01-05T11:06:32.338-07:002018-01-05T11:06:32.338-07:00I'm totally team wave runner, too.

It's sweet...Hi Nancy...what a lovely Christmas. It's sweet to have a glimpse of your Christmas, and see in this glimpse reflexions of my own Christmas! The excitement, the delight, the unwrapping, the big smiles, the laughter...I also found an echo of my own thoughts about how smoothly and at the same time how imperfectly I run my house, how I'd like to control it all more or better, how yet it is all perfect in all its sometimes untidy or too messy aspects. Now if you'll excuse me, I've just found out that I have more posts to read on this blog of yours ;)Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07052983331122916155noreply@blogger.com
