Saturday: lock-in

A few days ago Isaac had the brilliant idea of having a lock-in.  He was really looking forward to the one at church and everything was canceled about a week before.  It also means unlimited screen time, something he is always angling for.

At the same time, really?  A lock-in?  Does it not seem as though we're already locked in this house?

He had to come up with a few activities besides just screen time.  He and Joshua also got a Lego set, a bowl of candy, and they did tin foil boats.





It's now 10:30pm and tin foil boats are done and they spent some time on the Lego sets.  It wasn't a ton, so I'm sure they have more to do.  I expect Isaac might last quite a while yet, but I'd be interested in knowing when Joshua falls asleep...although they probably won't check the time.  Joshua was supposed to take a nap this afternoon but I'm not sure that he actually did, because he was awake when I got up from my nap.

We also went on a short walk today.  It was slightly drizzling, so we brought the umbrellas.  It gave the boys something new and we didn't have to play the "if you step on a crack you lose a point" game.
