Not Today

Having a good break. Lots to tell but not today, including:

• Our dueling couplets about rain
• Whimsy bread
• me and the Tea Party--no, the real one
• new Rewards chart and Legomania
• read-athon, mine (NurtureShock, Bonesetter's Daughter) and theirs (Boxcar Children #2, Water Horse, school reading center books called "decodables")
• movie marathons (FernGully, Peter Pan, Little Mermaid, Ratatouille, Lion King)
• our new guest room/library (previously, though probably still, "the cat room)
• travel plans, soon and later
• camp plans for the summer

But here are some tidbits for you:

Bud got yogurt on his shirt before we had friends come over. "I fixed it." By turning it inside out and backwards.

"I can't fit it in. My brain is too full." --Sis, on not being able to remember not to wipe her nose on her sleeve

"You are Krazi!" --Bud, assigning Lego characters to Mommy

When I was confused about what game we were playing, Sis informed me, "Luke meets the Ninjas." We're starting to combine stories: Medieval Knights at Hogwarts, Imagination Movers go to Japan. But they're not combining toy sets--Legos can't play with Playmobile or Schleich/action figures--it's like mashed potatoes touching peas on a plate of a child!

"We don't mind if you die." --Sis to Mama, about playing a character on Star Wars DS

"I came in peace. And now I'm leaving." --Bud, playing Obi-Wan action figure in Star Wars scenario
