Although, really - the love all of it, I'd say. They're obsessively playing Indiana Jones with their new whips, Colin has not stopped trying to build his pirate ship (ages 8-12, my butt - the grownups can't figure it out - but Colin is succeeding, studying the manual and piecing it together), they've both beaten my sorry butt in Trouble, and so on. They also beg to have a "camp out" with their new sleeping bags, which I've twice allowed.
Tomorrow they'll bring the sleeping bags to Loon as we go visit our friends there. We may or may not ski. Joe and Aidan are most into the prospect, Colin and Seamus change their minds hourly. Seamus is invariably excited when he thinks I say SKATING. When I explain SKIING his enthusiasm wanes. So we're playing it by ear.
And since I've been trying to stay away from the computer and will not bring it to the mountain, I will sign off for 2008 and wish all of you known and unknown readers "a fine 2009."
Yes, I am that big of a dork. :)
