One of the things we like about coming here is that is
forces us to simplify and to get out of the apartment as much as possible. This year, we really simplified, only
bringing a few things for the kiddos to do when they’re stuck inside. They do watch their share of TV, like an
afternoon viewing of Despicable Me during a thunderstorm yesterday. But, the limited “things to do” has also (for
better and worse) brought out their creativity.
They have invented games like Hello Kitty, which consists of tying a
mini Hello Kitty doll to a paper airplane and tossing it from the spiral
staircase, and the Ghost game, which consists of running around the apartment
with ghost masks shouting “BOO!” (our poor neighbors below us).
And they spend a LOT of time drawing. We are on our way to having a stack of
artwork, several meters high, that has been torn out of drawing pads and
coloring books. We’re thinking of
submitting it to one of Ljubljana’s many galleries. We are also certain that our kids are good
fits for the Cirkus…
