1.8.12: Blanket tunnel

We were having a lazy day at home full of baking, football and friends (stella/butterflies, fiona/polka dots, daphne/flowers).

The girls really like helping Brant stir the waffle mix on the weekends, so I decided to let them take turns stirring the muffin mix as well.   I was impressed, none ended up on the floor or me. 

Nicole and I went upstairs for a couple minutes and the boys somehow managed to entertain all four kids and watch football.  Who knew a blanket tunnel would have gotten them all so excited?  Peter did a good job showing the girls how to close off the tunnel with pillows and hide.  Of course, with three little girls wanting turns too, he didn't stay hidden for very long.

Then Nicole brought out the tried and true way to entertain any child (and most adults), the cell phone. Here Peter was teaching the girls how to play a balloon game on her phone.  Later I had to explain to the girls that mama's phone doesn't have games like Nicole's (wink, wink) - or else I would never see my phone again.
