Grocery stores. Endured a touch of misogyny in the checkout line (the grandma behind us assumed that Lucy does not have a Buzz Lightyear like her grandson was getting, but must, in fact, have a Barbie instead). I kindly set the lady straight, but had to endure 5 minutes of Lucy telling me how much she needs a Barbie. Thanks, lady.

We stuck more googly eyes on stuff.

Worked off and on all morning on a drawing of Larry the Cucumber as a pirate. It evolved from a drawing of a box with a face. (?)

Watched Charlie and Lola, vol. 8. There's a great episode about foreign languages and travel.

Made passports after I showed her our real ones.

She had been asking for several weeks if I would buy bird seed at the store, but I kept forgetting.  Today I remembered, bought some, and then this afternoon we made wood-davers!

 

(Does anyone else have a name for these? Seriously. I'm adopting "wood-davers" because "pine cone bird feeder" is super lame.)

Watched that Sesame Street dental hygiene DVD (once in English, once in Spanish). 

Brushed her own teeth without telling or asking me about it.


We watched the Mythbusters MacGyver episode (we would have been watching Ellen, but she wasn't on due to some disturbing breaking news).

Got frustrated trying to draw rainbows with all her markers. 

Made me some sort of birthday present? She insisted that I not look at it, but that Norman put it in a box, then put it in my craft room, and that I not look at it until my birthday (in late August, but she doesn't know that). What? I think it was a drawing or something.

Took some photos with her camera, including this one of one of our googly eye faces:

[The camera has a bunch of silly hats and faces and stuff that you can add to photos.]

I read her Where Have the Unicorns Gone?  (She expressed recognition of several of the words.)
