Fun with the kids

It is Friday and some how the kids and I really got lost in reading. You would not even be able to guess what we were reading.  The Encylopedia of Immaturity Volumes 1 and 2. Basically they are guides about how not to grow up. Of course being the big kid at heart that I am,  I could not wait to check it out.

We found a lot of interesting stuff. Kayla made a paper fortune teller. Do you remember those? When I was younger we used them to see who we were going to marry, how many kids, what kind of car we would drive and stuff like that.

The kids even learned the Official Rules to Jinx. Hey you gotta know the rules if you want to play. My kids love bubbles, so the how to on handmade bubbles was a big hit. I have been trying the how to whistle with your fingers how to. I have not mastered it yet. Of course the kids did.

The kids had fun learning to:

•  do Cat’s Cradle with shoe  laces. That brought back some memories
• spin a basketball on their finger
• walk the dog with a yo-yo

There are some pretty funny jokes and pranks in there too. My entire family loves these books.  They agree with me that they are fun to read.
