Our 7 year old nephew came to visit this weekend.  With our oldest Grandson just turning 3, the toys at our house are geared towards toddlers.  Needless to say, they didn't hold his interest very long.  Our youngest son turned 18 the beginning of the month.  We had a Pool Table that was hardly ever used.  He convinced us that we should take the Pool Table out of the Parlor and replace it with a Ping Pong Table.  Since he is the last one at home, I thought that would be a great idea!  A chance to later reclaim the Parlor that I had given up to the Pool Table many years ago.  We donated the Pool Table to our Youth Group and purchased a new Ping Pong Table.  It folds up and is on wheels.  That will make it possible to remove it from the room and store it elsewhere when it isn't being used so much.  A great plan, I think!!  The Ping Pong table didn't hold our nephew's interest very long either.  He wanted to play the Wii.  As luck would have it, our Wii decided to quit working when we turned it on.  He was extremely disappointed and bored stiff hanging out with the adults!  He finally asked if we had any puzzles, to which my wonderful husband said "yes"!  What my husband didn't realize was that the 4 piece wooden puzzles made for toddlers, wasn't what our nephew was wanting!  I went to our game closet and found an old United States Floor Puzzle that had been used by all 4 of our sons.  We hadn't had it out in years.  I gave it to Ryan and he was happy to put it together.  He was very disappointed when he put it together and there was a piece missing.  He really wanted me to find it.  Since that puzzle hadn't been out of the closet for at least 10 years, I didn't even bother to look and I apologized to him that I didn't know where it was.
