The two little kiddos are sleeping and the two older kiddos are running around downstairs playing happily (for the moment). One of their favorite things to do is to have me print out coloring pages of animals and they make up stories about them while they color them. They can do this for hours. They continue the stories after they're done coloring and usually end up having a whole afternoon and evening of pretend play with their coloring pages. Eventually they end up asking me to staple the pages together into a book and then the book gets filed along with all their previous books. Most of the time their animals names are Lisa - or some variation of that theme. Today they were both perplexed by the odd dressing behaviors of their animals and decided that they needed to talk to the doctor about it since it might mean something was wrong. They had been sending each other to get the answers until I explained about HIPAA and then they gave each other written permission to share information before they went to the doctors. It's quite amusing.
