Eldest child and I have played checkers and spent a long time talking about fashion choices for her dolls. (I got them a cheap-as-heck set of Disney Princess dolls in the after-Christmas sales and threw it in storage. I plan ahead.) It was perfect to bring them out after we had been here for a week. The kids kind of exploded with excitement.

Playing with the dolls is a lot of what they did yesterday on our rest day. I’m so smart.
