Last weekend, Kevin and the big girls worked to clear out his grandmother's house. Grandma L. died in November of 2013, unfortunately without a will, and it took quite a while to get the legal tangle sorted out. The house now is ready to be sold, but it needed to be completely emptied. Kevin's mom had already done most of the work but a final push was needed to get rid of all those hard to sort items.
Said items are now in our barn, and K's mom can go through them at her leisure. And the house can be sold.
We found 2 ancient telephones at the house, and brought them home to show the children. They were ecstatic. They thought those phones were the best thing ever. We actually plugged them in and got a dial tone but we couldn't phone anyone (we use an internet phone, and maybe that is why?)
After 24 hours, the joy degenerated to fighting, and we removed them from toy circulation.
But we thought it was cute that they were excited about the ancient and clunky phones.
