With all that's going on, now is the perfect time for a few laughs! This week, Leighton and I were able to get away by ourselves for a few days. We did a little shopping, some relaxing, and a whole lot of enjoying being together while my parents watched our kids. Leighton has been wanting to go to an escape room for years, but instead of spending a lot of money, we decided to stay in and do an escape room in a box. We had so much fun that we bought a different type box with 10 cases and worked through the first one the next night. We had such a great time just the two of us. And, of course, the kiddos had a great time being spoiled by their grandparents.  

1. Alyssa: "Come on, Zac, please? I'm your favorite sister!"

Zac: "Well, you're also my least favorite sister."

2. Me: "You ain't kiddin'!"

Alyssa: {gasps} "Mom! You used improper grammar! Are you ok?! Are you sick?!"

3. Our interesting game of Clue.

4. The little boys had fun making rock towers while at my parents'.

5. Alyssa: "What time is it?"

Leighton: "Time to go to bed!"

Alyssa: "Hmm, that's a nice time."

6. We stopped at the store to look for presents to bring home for the kids after our weekend away.

Me, after not finding anything: "Well, that was a waste."

Leighton: "Walking around holding your hand is never a waste."

7. I walked into the kitchen to find a stack of Great Illustrated Classics on the table."

Me: "What is all this?"

Alyssa: "Oh, just a little bit of light reading."

8. Nick, because his voice was raspy: "I sound like an old man."

9.

10 .Alyssa, knitting: "My scarf is 3 feet, 6 inches. It's taller than Fred."
Jake: "I think it's funny that that's the thing she came up with."

11. Tyler, because someone had moved his character in Clue to a room for a suggestion: "Who teleported me?"

12. Tyler, chasing a rogue bouncy ball: "Come here, you little rascal!"

13. Nick, running a balloon on his head and sticking it to the wall with static electricity: "I can do that because I have sticky stuff in my hair."

14. Jake: "When I grow up, I'm going to sky dive and solve the Rubik's cube at the same time."

Me: "Only if you want to give me a heart attack."

Jake: "Ok . . . I won't solve the cube then."
