More Monkeyshines


Well the weekend has come and gone again, and this past Saturday saw another wonderful visit to Daddy’s house by our favorite little people. Zach had a much better session at the Sensory Gym this week, and while he was doing his sensory integration work the rest of us went to Dunkin Doughnuts for Miss Miranda’s muffin on a stick ritual.

After collecting “Zacky-rye-ah” as Miranda says his name, the whole gang headed over to the House of Miller for lunch and playtime. This week lunch featured a marinated London broil, white rice with chives, peas and carrots (suffering succotash!) and an assortment of fruit (of course Miss Miranda must have her berries).

Most of this fabulous lunch went uneaten or was spilled on the living room floor, as we were all too excited to worry about eating – there were trains to be played with and tents and tunnels to be explored – serious business! Miranda made Daddy another piece of beautiful artwork (using all 96 colors of crayons) and had fun throwing dominos (and all 96 crayons) all over the place. She also enjoyed playing with her peoples and her pony. Zach tried many activities but was hampered by his sister. Each time Zachy picked up a toy, Miranda came running over yelling “My turn! Mine!" Zach is nothing if not a good sport so he chilled and watched some Blue’s Clues and lounged on his beanbag chair.

Both little monkeys got great thrills from jumping on the beds and climbing on and sitting in the windowsills, as well as being chased around the place by the fierce and terrible Daddymonster. We all hungout until 4pm when the little monkeys had to leave. There were hugs and kisses for all and a wave goodbye, as the little people piled into Grampa’s car for their next adventure. Stay tuned for next week’s installment of Monkeyshines.

dude, sounds like another fine weekend. the lunch sounds good, do you deliver? to bad it ended up on the floor, but when I was that age, I would have never eaten that stuff! Can't wait for the next installment!
