Tristan, Lyra, Jake

Jessi’s family had spent the night at Kris’s, and the boys were thrilled to come out in their pajamas and find cousins to play bedding games with: pillow fights, blanket forts, jumping on the bed, and human burritos, to name a few. Meanwhile, Kris was in the kitchen building a stack of homemade waffles without measuring the mix, so that each batch came out a different shape and color; a true preparation for a waffle frolic.

Caleb and Jessi leave for REI, Kris and Vicki are getting her windshield fixed, and their dog’s teeth cleaned. I play toss with the boys, then play with cars with Jordan, while Tristan spends some time with Jake. He’ll play in his room later while Jordan and I nap. The kids gather on the couch and the stairs to scheme when they’re not running around outside or sharing their snacks with Nicki, the husky. Caleb and Kris play Lemmings, a game of leading little blobs to a safe exit through a number of obstacles.
