Monday, August 24, 2015 (+photo dump)

Today we:

-- went grocery shopping

-- went swimming. for like an hour? it was a long time. we had fun.

Also Norman strew the instructions to one of his card games, so the first thing I heard this morning was Lucy talking about how it's just like Pokemon but different in certain ways or something. I dunno. They looked at the cards for a while before we went shopping.



Also, yesterday Lucy made dinner! Okay, she said she wanted to make dinner, and she decided what to make and I... assisted. She learned how to use a knife safely to chop up fruit, and we also made grilled cheese. She burned her wrist on the pan during the making of the first sandwich, so I finished that up. But she made the fruit salad and sliced all the cheese.

Also I got Hungry Hungry Hippos from the thrift store so we've been playing that.

Also Disney Fairies movies, which has resulted in some cardboard and tape tiny house crafting (because usually she takes everything that happens in the fairy movies and translates it to lizards).

Also Pokemon watching.

And she's still about those Lumberjanes.


Oh my goodness I thought I was done but I wasn't because I found these photos from this last week.

She has this activity book where you're supposed to fill in the cartoons with what you think the characters are saying. She figured out that it would be great if these penguins were saying some dialog from one of the Lumberjanes comics, so she copied it in!



And then... she got a new Kiwi Crate, and she made a little booklet like the Kiwi Crate instructions, but for one of the projects in her Girl Scout binder! (a panda mask!)







And THEN, one day last week I woke up to Lucy telling me that she had made Norman and me some "peanut butter toast with basil, paprika, and garlic leeks." And like... WHAT. I was like, "Well, whatever that is, it will still be there in 15 minutes when I'm actually conscious." It turns out it was this:



"Garlic leeks" = green onions (she didn't know the name of them). She chopped them up with a steak knife. This is part of why we had knife lessons yesterday. Gracious. And mine had chocolate sprinkles, because my birthday is coming up. Yes I took a (tiny) bite. Because, as I'm always telling her, you won't know if you don't like something until you try it!

And also I took these today. Looking very grown up!
