Week End Sleep Over

 What a FUN weekend!
Hertsje and Broeder came to spend the weekend with us.

 I'm not sure who had the best time, us or them.

On Saturday afternoon, Uncle Oldest Son came to play.
I had purchased two new Lego sets and the three of them spent HOURS following the directions to get them put together.
All three of them LOVE doing that!
I wonder if uncles ever realize just how much they mean to their nieces and nephews?
This one is like an encouraging superhero who drops in just for fun, or whenever needed to spread his special kind of uncle magic to a half dozen kids who adore him.

He is helpful when needed, but mostly waits patiently while they figure things out on their own.
It does also help that Lego directions are exceptionally done!

 And, everyone knows how good it feels to accomplish something on one's own!

At the end of the afternoon, Hertsje and Broader had something new and interesting with which to play. 

After dinner we went to see the play "The Little Mermaid" at an area high school. 
Uncle's are also good at introducing young children to the possibilities of someday performing, like the greatly talented young actors we saw on stage.
