Ways to entertain children. . .

My day. . . in my head. . .was quite boring. We were going to spend the day doing laundry, cleaning up the house and (gasp) possibly washing my baseboards. . .in between reading with the kiddos and tickle time.

All that came to a crashing halt when my friend, Monica called to say that she had been in an accident. She was turning right on green and the man across the intersection apparently didn't see the red light and he crashed right into the back of her. Monica is ok, but will be QUITE sore for a few days. So, I grabbed the kiddos and headed to the scene to pick Monica up and head to the doctor's office. Oh what to do with 2 littles in a crowded waiting room? Why, have them introduce themselves to people! This is Gracie's new favorite thing and I love it! She walks up and says, "What's your name? I'm Gracie" too cute! So, they entertained the waiting room for 2 hours. . . yeah, you read that right!

Then, we gathered in the exam room to wait some more. Here's what we decided to do for fun. It was quite funny! Gracie LOVED it and kept wanting to do it over and over again. . then she would stumble around and giggle. Oh how fun. . . .hey, when you are at a doctor's office for 3 hours. . you've gotta have some fun!

What a horrible mother you are to laugh at your child like that ;) We do that ALL the time and fall on the floor laughing about it. The smaller they are the cuter it seems to be. So much fun!

Not sure what to say to this one:) I think you laughing in the background was the funniest part to me. It amazes me that kids love to be dizzy -I hate it. Love you!

Hey Bran, is it too late to sign up for the womens retreat. I really need that right now. Oh how I do!
If not how much is it? I just got laid off so money's tight.
Anyway let me know, and if it's too stressful, no worries!!!

Super cute. :)
I'm pretty sure I would rather chew my own arm off then bring my kids to a waiting room for hours. What a good friend you are though to go and take care of your friend!

I'm glad your friend is okay. There is nothing scarier than a phone call from someone you care about letting you know they've just been in an accident...
