Update

G checked a library book out for research for a dragon story line they are playing out with their toy dragons. We had a yard sale over the weekend, due to the impending move and while sorting for it, I threatened to get rid of the dragons if they continued to be ignored. After a few days, Keaton got out the box and came up with a story line for the dragons, played out like a movie that was far too complicated for Maddy and I to understand so we just went on about our business. Today G came home with a library book about Medusa, the two of the discussed information the whole way home. Minutes after we got here, they were off in their room, adding their new spin on the story line as they went. I'm a little proud he took the time to find a book about what they needed, or maybe the book found him. Either way they are pretty smart, those two.

On a toddler note... Thank goodness for Crayola color wonder markers. Where did she get that marker and how long has she been coloring Elmo's eye?!

Here she is later today, sorting her crayons into piles, then back into the bag, out of the bag, in the bag, on the floor, then back out of the back. I got the crayons out for her because Maddy was doing homework, Keaton was writing a creative story in his notebook, and G was off somewhere doing... something... I am not sure what. Anyway, she felt she had to do something too. So I got out crayons and a book for her to color in and she started sorting like mad. Oh, and I couldn't help. She growled at me when I put some in the bag while I thought she wasn't looking.

A Day in the Life

This morning I thought I'd pick up some extra bucks by babysitting Big Sis's kid. Little did I know, SOME people don't like you snatching up their babies and poking their eyes out with a Matchbox car. I was just trying to help out...

After I realized I wasn't getting anywhere with the baby sitting gig, I decided to try my hand helping Mom with her school work on the table. She looked so busy, I didn't think she'd notice. Then she did...

She said she likes me better on the ground, so I decided to do some shopping in the cabinets (there's this one that doesn't shut so I can still get in, even though they have those annoying hang up things on there). Hmm.... what looks like it would make the most noise dropping onto the tile floor?

I had a hypothesis that I could actually fit inside of the cabinet.... I still think there has to be a way.

Then Mom shut the cabinet.

Boy did that just set me off, I mean first with the babysitting, then sitting on the table is a "no-no", now I can't even do a little shopping!? Then I spotted my Pink Blanket on the dryer. You mean That Lady washed my blanket while I wasn't looking!!!! I bet she's got Captain Quackers rolling around in the dryer like he is some dish towel! Geez.

At least I got to take Pinkie to Wal-Mart. My favorite part of the day was helping Mom unpack groceries. I just love helping her out! You can't see it here, but I even tried to open the milk for her, she said we already had one opened in the fridge and not to worry about it.

Still testing that hypothesis out.

After dinner, I was playing with my "Cah" when I noticed it was looking a little dusty. I thought it would be helpful to take care of it myself, so I just slipped it into the dishwasher with my Elmo fork. As you can see, I tried to explain to That Lady that the cah would make it just fine and not to worry, but she threw out another "no-no" and I was shut down yet again. See how I respond next time she comes to me with a great idea.

To finish out the afternoon, I slayed Brother while Big Sister sat on him for me.
