We’ve had more adoption emotion here lately, reading about the CQ scandal (our baby is in a foster home, NOT at CQ) and recalculating our PGN-out date based on days off (like today is the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and so offices are all closed) and just hoping now that she’ll be home before she turns one on November 6th.
But we’ve had some good times too. Saturday was soccer, lunch out, an afternoon of errands and chores, picnic dinner at a nearby playground, and then a field lie-in for the Perseids. We’re glad we went then, because the next two nights were overcast here.
Sunday, JediBoy had his final bowling game of the season. This week, we’ve been hanging close to home during the days, reading a lot of Geronimo Stilton, drawing, and watching Robin Hood at least once a day.
Today JediBoy made a caterpillar from the freshly-emptied egg carton (I can’t even count the number of caterpillars we’ve made over the years). He’s covering his eye because he woke up this morning with a case of pinkeye, hopefully mild.
Later in the day, he was rummaging through his art studio and found one of the craft foam visors. He came out to me ten minutes later having turned it into a crown and told me he needed a “forest background.” We hung one of his play fabrics from the lampshade and the coathook, and he turned himself into a knight riding through the forest.
Yes, Noble Sir Lancelot du Lake is wearing a cape, a crown and TMNT skivvies. But I wouldn’t mention that to anyone wielding so fierce a sword.
