Games to play when you’re poor and stuck at home with kids:
Have more kids?
See who can stand with their back to the wall the longest?
Dress up with Mr Potatoe head accesories?
Read on the toilet?
Dress up like mum?
So we drove 8 hours to Baton Rouge in Louisiana and spent 8 days sleeping in the same room as the baby, funnily enough I don’t remember agreeing enthusiastically to this idea, although apparently I did. At least dad gets to drive while mum has to climb into the backseat to feed or occasionally entertain screaming baby. Don’t worry, we checked for cops and dropped our speed to the official limit before Marla took her seat belt off.
Baby got some new slippers
And he chased the local ducks
And he got to know some local Louisiana wildlife (this giraffe was later cooked with rice and gravy. they will eat anything over there)
He played with his cousins
And learned to feed himself with a spoon
And took some official christmas pictures
