Thursday morning, just before leaving for New Jersey to spend Thanksgiving with Grandma (both) and Grandpa the kids packed the important stuff they needed for the trip. Being too occupied with packing only trivial things (such as clothing and food), I didn't see what treasures the kids stuffed into their bags until we got to our destination. As soon as we arrived at Grandma and Grandpa's house, Benjamin and Laura dumped out their backpacks, eager to display their most treasured possessions of the day. Benjamin managed to stuff The Big Book of Rescue Vehicles, a large battery operated "Monster Truck", 5 Webkins, his kitty cat, a Bakugan case, a giant Bakugan, a Bakugan Handbook, several Power Rangers and assorted other toys into his backpack. When it was time to go home, I could not reassemble his backpack so that all his treasures fit into it again.
Benjamin's treasures:
And of course he can't leave home without his Bakugan collection and Captain Underpants books.
While at Grandma and Grandpa's house the kids discovered three 3-color highlighters (intended for them, of course--Grandpa always makes sure he has 3 of everything). The kids found this discovery very excited and needed to check them out right away. Laura enjoyed scribbling in each of the different colors. Benjamin tried out different words to see how they looked in each of the different colors. On the other hand, Joshua decided that it was necessary to write a play with 3 different characters so that he can highlight each of the character's parts a different color.
