This post is dedicated to Uncle Paul

Cousins, Riley and Maggie spent the afternoon with us. We all had a blast. We painted, rode cars around the house, played in the jump house (for hours), ran all over the yard, ate pizza on the floor in the living room, had chocolate pie for dessert, AND Riley passed down his Nintendo to Ben. The boy's Uncle Paul gave this Nintendo to Riley five years ago and now it is Ben's turn to play. Oh, the joy. Now, to establish video game rules...

Maggie and Liam painting in the living room. Sweet babies.




Riley giving Ben "gentle" lessons on how to work the controller.

Ben in sheer heaven over his new toy.

Dinner. Everyone ate. Everyone was gleefully happy. Life is good.

Thanks, Riley and Uncle Paul. We will never be the same.

Pizza on the carpet? You are one COOL MOM!!! We haven't done video games yet...we have the Wii, but that's it. My boys would be obsessed & I'm just not cool with that. ;) Sounds like a wonderful day!!!

Most excellent :) A Nintendo is indeed a right of passage. Their minds have been opened up to a whole new world.
