Expensive Toys Not Required

Yes, a cardboard box and some leftover packaging from office furniture can make for plenty of fun for a busy toddler, especially with someone new around who can think up different, fun and creative ways to play with them. Tina and Dale's visit was very popular with our two little munchkins, (and their parents)!
I plan on scrapping this picture of Eric and Dale but have to share now because it's just too cute! Sometimes I lament that Canada is such a big country...it's a LONG way to Manitoba (and BC, and Saskatchewan!!) If we lived in Europe we'd be traveling through 4 countries if we were driving 15 hours to see someone, sheesh. But I shouldn't complain about space and wide open landscapes, should I. I'll just be thankful for airplane travel, blogs and long distance plans! We love and miss all of you out there. And we are very happy when you come to visit!!

Jack's face is pure ecstasy! I love the creative play. How fun! And Eric is so chubby and adorable. He has grown way too much since October!

Sounds like such a great visit. Honestly, from what I have seen- having friends without children are an ASSET! Children are novelty for them, they don't mind hearing one gush over the children and they offer alternative conversations to the parenting ones. (OF course having friends with children are VERY important too).
Jack and Eric are so adorable.
