On Sunday I took the boys to visit grandparents; my Dad & Mom 45 minutes south.
My goal when we visit GPs is to see how long I can keep the boys engaged with family, food, games (any available toys or projects) and grown-ups before they "BEG" to go watch "cable" TV.
Truth be told, they are deprived kids -- I don't subscribe to cable at my house.
Too bad, so sad, bummer and all that, but I honestly haven't discovered the cable benefits outweighing the peace of mind. PBS shows end before dinner... nice eh!?
I digress.
Alternate entertainment options are always necessary to keep 'da boyz' attention off the TV.
This time they had earned movie time for GP's house.
Even so, I wanted/needed to spend a little extra time with my visiting sister-in-law (wheee - girl time) so I tossed them each a pack of pipe cleaners (hey, they were colorful and only $1).
Usually, I return to messages shaped as "I [heart] U MOM," and airplanes, bikes or stick figures doing "weird" stuff. Not this time.
