Hi.

Welcome!

December 26th: Fish Zoo and a Duel or two

Well, I left my brain and my camera behind again, so I don’t think I got any pictures of today! It was a lovely, laid back sort of morning. We played with Serenity’s new Christmas toys, Eric and I started a gigantic Epic Duels match, and we just enjoyed ourselves. Serenity wanted to open the paper bag puppet kit she got from her Aunt Jana, so we started with some crafting. She loved it! It involved using a glue stick to add punch out pieces like the eyes and arms, and stickers to decorate. It was fun seeing how she likes to place her stickers, there is such a system. For the cow, she put down big black stickers, and then piled medium and small ones on top so she ended up with a big black spot instead of lots of little ones. =) She made patterns in her lion stickers, big orange next to a little red in a straight line. Anyway, when we were done she realized there were three puppets and three people, so she wore her cow puppet, gave Daddy the frog, and Mama the lion. We all danced around and made our animal sounds, and then she sang Old MacDonald all by herself for her cow. It’s fun that she’s really starting to sing whole songs instead of just filling in lyrics for us =) Later in the day, I went to a movie and dinner with Mom and Dave’s family, while Serenity and Eric had an afternoon together at the fish zoo and the park. Apparently she loved all the Christmas trees at the aquarium and she had to smell every poinsettia plant they had. =) They had a blast, and Serenity learned a new dance to Harry Belafonte. Shake Senora! Eric and I continued our Epic Duels. So far he’s won two games, and picked Lando and Luke to go to the finals, and I’ve won two, picking Dooku and the Ewoks to go on.
