Well, I was feeling twinges of guilt about packing up (nearly) all the children’s toys, but no more.

I sat next to Melody for a huge chunk of time yesterday afternoon while she made up an entire fantasy with…

(…wait for it…..)

…A cribbage board.
And its little colored pegs.

And we’re talking epic fantasy here.  At one point she pulled her brother in, occasionally giving him lines to say for a character, but mostly just holding him in thrall with the perilous adventures and consuming passions of nine one-inch sticks of plastic.
