Grocery shopping day. We saw a kid-friend-type person at one of the shops. We also got some store-brand stickers, which inspired Lucy to play grocery store when we got home, which we did. We switched off playing customer and cashier. She also decided that she just really, really wanted to try the kind of cheese you see on cartoons -- the one with holes. I found some sliced swiss, but she insisted that it had to be in a triangle. So I found her some baby swiss sliced off a round at the cheese counter at the next shop. She tried it later; didn't like it. I'm gonna eat it 'cause it's really good!

But actually the first thing she did this morning was to work on her Lakitu costume that she devised a day or two ago. She's been playing a lot of Mario Kart on the Wii (did so this morning before we went shopping, in fact), and she just decided she wanted to dress up as "the guy who holds the sign that tells you you're going the wrong way" (as you can imagine, this happens to her a lot when she plays). Today she finished it up when I helped her pin the paper plate/turtle shell to her yellow shirt.

We also spent some time today playing with watercolor pencils. I finally bought some proper watercolor paper today. It was fun!

She spent some time playing games on a Disney website.

She watched an episode of Jake and the Neverland Pirates. (Not my favorite, but oh well.)

She apparently spent some time playing Duplos, and also trying to bundle some popsicle sticks with her hair ties? Not sure what was going on there; that's just what I found in the playroom.

Right before bed she decided she needed to go outside and start building a house lizard house. She was interrupted, but I assume she'll resume tomorrow morning.

I read her a Batman book before bed.
