Memorial Day

Not suprisingly, it was also a German holiday of some kind (usually Catholic holidays of all varieties). So even though Guitarman was off work, we didn’t get to do any fun shopping or anything. I was hoping for a chance to go look at rocking chairs at the Mobelhof. Harumph.

Guitarman and Wee Laddie took Grandma-Nana to the airport. Wee Laddie didn’t take his nap in the car like we were hoping. Well, he slept for about 30 minutes, but then woke when Guitarman got home & tried to take him up to bed. 30 minutes does not a nap make.

Wee Laddie and I played with Play-doh some this afternoon. He loves to tell you what to make… usually cars. And not just any cars, but the cars from the “Cars” movie. But of course. Today I was making some other stuff… a plant, a pumpkin (punkbin), a flower. And I got him to make something, too. I asked him what it was and he said, “A seal.” I think it’s fantastic.



Incidentally, I may be becoming a Play-doh snob. We’ll see, as there are other modeling compounds that I haven’t tried yet, but the knock-off brand we’ve already tried is nowhere near as good as the real stuff. The knock-off is crumbly, so pieces are very difficult to stick together.
