the games we play

I started this with Snick: me: "I love you more than popcorn". Snick: "I love you more than sunshine." etc, etc, etc. until we ran out of steam. Mad joined in when she was a toddler: me: "I love you more than snowboarding." Mad: "I love you more than snow."

Fast forward 6 years and add Fi & Lib to what has evolved from a bedtime ritual into an anytime ritual. Fi & Lib have changed it into an "I love you all the way to ___________." For instance today Lib turns to me & says, "I love you all the way to London." (It's the farthest place she's been -although Boulder & Nikki's apartment often make the cut for "far away places" category too). "I love you all the way to China," I replied, thinking about the Olympics not far off now. "I love you all the way to God." Wow. How do I top that one?
