DpoD June 30th - Plans for a Monday

Big C returned safe and sound this morning after a wonderful sleepover at grandma and grandpa's. It was reasonably uneventful, with the exception of his wakeup this morning. He decided to quietly go down to the kitchen and have himself a yogurt. Went right into the fridge, got himself a spoon at all. Grandma seemed rather concerned by it all as he could have gotten out into the street. After suggesting that all the doors to the outside world be locked whenever Big C is over, it got daddy to thinking that if he could do this on his own and take his brother with him...daddy could sleep in until 11 or noon. They'd just have to figure out how to get Franklin on TV and they'd be set.

As for TV, it turns out that both households were watching Curious George this morning. Curious George had a little interlude where some neaighbourhood kids made a wind chime. I asked Monkey if he'd like to make one. He excitedly replied 'Yes!', so at the end of the show we were off.

We went down to daddy's tool area and gathered some stuff that daddy hadn't used in years and other stuff that he's been setting aside for crafty type stuff. We got the drill and went to the garage to assemble the pieces. It was a real blast. Monkey was very helpful and even learned how to tie the knot in the string. We put it all together and then the 3 of us went to the backyard to tie it to the playstructure. It's a little off balance, but we were able to hear it during lunch. Oh yes, we rewarded ourselves with some fresh strawberries for a job well done!
