Feb. 2, 2008 - Since I'm catching up...
We had a day, not too many days ago that was pretty cold for us southerners. It was too cold to play outside for sure...especially since Monkey Face has decided to be a dainty child...if we could get some more fat on those little legs...ah well...but I digress.
Here is our handy, dandy, thermometer, barometer, clock dealie...yes, I AM sure that is what it said on the package...No, I won't google it for you.
As it worked out...we also had no school to do, because we had originally intended to be going to our homeschool co-op and had completely finished everything, including tests on Thursday...
But...see...Monkey Face had enough of a cold that I didn't want to take her...AND...it was supposed to freeze so Bubba was supposed to work from home and he was going to watch MF while we went to co-op...but then it wasn't QUITE cold enough so he needed to go...so there we were, no school planned, sick-ish baby and too cold to really go play. What to do...What to do????
Cool Whip on the counter! To those of you who know me and wonder why, ON EARTH, I had cool whip in my house being that I am make-it-myself, eating raw milk and cream when I can get it type gal. Chalk it up to serendipity! I don't know when it got into my freezer...but I was glad to find it.
After that got cleaned up...we started the fire...and put together various puzzles...I was much more involved in the USA puzzles...the girls can pretty much do the states...it's the water and Mexico that just don't fit quite right...
While I read Peter Pan, the little girls decided to play LEVER-baby...well I think it's a lever...maybe a pulley instead...either way...I just want to be very clear that I have never transported any of MY babies in this fashion...so they didn't get the idea from me.
And then, while I was making lunch the doctor / dentist / chiropractor office was installed on the now warm hearth...
This is the computer...yep, a green box and an old keyboard on top of the box on the hearth...the amazing thing is...it is STILL smaller than the Compaq Suitcase that my dad called "portable" in the 80s.
Here is the examination table...note that the fire had been out for awhile at this point, so the glass was no longer hot, but the bricks were still a touch warm. Cozy!
Here is an example of the dental work that was performed that day...
And here is the SURGERY portion of our day. See, we'd been to Scottish Rite recently and so it was the topic of much imanginary play. This is the "slicing off the skin portion" (um...blech) ...notice how well the anesthetic appears to be working in our little patient.
So many blog posts to do...so little time...
See ya around...
