While we took full advantage of the hot weather and long days by being out of the house as much as possible, as the days grow shorter and the sun goes down sooner, we are making the migration to the indoors. Sometimes indoor activities are just as much fun! As I mentioned previously, Anyssa really likes Rapunzel (from the movie "Tangled") so in an effort to imitate Rapunzel's long hair, Anyssa tied a bunch of blankets together and then to her own hair (by way of a scrunchy) and walked around carrying her large bundle of "hair."
Fall is also a good time to play games. She has learned a few games since she's gotten here (she loves UNO) but her latest favorite game is Smess. You have to jump all the way back to the 70's for this classic...it's "the ninny's chess." It's a chess type of game with 3 characters...ninnys, numskulls and brains. The object is to capture the other guy's brain. The moves are laid out on the board so it's pretty easy to play. I'm trying to teach her to think things out. Of course she has to WANT to win. Despite a couple of clear shots for her to win, she wanted ME to win today. Ain't she something?
Oh...and Ducky enjoyed the Rapunzel play too...he took a nap in her "hair!"
