Family Antics

So much time...together.  

Piper had to write up an example of feudalism so we taught the family to play Kings and Serfs, a card game we like to play in large groups.  When the king position is knocked out, we've always said, "Off with your head!" Wesley heard "Weapon!" and he was all over it.  That's the finest plastic ax a dollar can buy.

Here, Dwayne smiles for me, thinking Piper is just photobombing. 

Which is short-sighted of him, since she pulled the ottoman over as well.

 

Kyla is oddly amused by her sister's antics. 

Here, Wes is so glad to be reunited with Larry the Cactus II (the first one was a gift for someone else, but Wes fell fast and hard, and he got one at Easter).   Larry is a mircobead pillow, which I admit, is a wonderous thing to snuggle, and Wes has figured out a way to put it on his head.  Of course he has.

Piper has some poor speech habits which don't help Wes's speech impediments  particularly when she speaks on the inhale, which is even more annoying than it sounds.  So she has to do a push up for each offense.  This is good because at the beginning of the January semester, she couldn't do a single one.  But somehow she got everyone else to do pushups with her.

Then Dwayne does some particularly amazing feats of strength!  He has worked his way up from 20 pushups daily to 30, and sometimes the kids want to give him an extra challenge.  (And, yes, my man has amazing muscle tone--I love it!)

And again, with Piper on his back.  The goal is for the kids to do pushups while being .... pushupped?  Can I makeup that word?

Hope your antics are happy, too!  We all need some laughs.
