Today was just a random assortment of things. We didn't really do anything new today. We called Grammy and Granddad in the morning and took a little walk before it rained and collected some new "nature treasures" as Wren likes to call sticks, stones and leaves and left them in the collection (a pile of random crap the kids collect on walks). We did do a little more painting on items for our Easter tree before lunch but it didn't last too long.
There was a very elaborate pretend game that Flynt initiated where we were blasting off on a space ship to Saturn. We apparently have one house on Mars and another one on Saturn but we live on the side of Saturn where the dinosaurs live. Flynt's construction site was the rocket ship. It was pretty awesome.
There was also a long game of "ask a question about______" which is Flynt's version of "where did your food go?" It goes like this:
Flynt: Ask questions about my peanut butter and jelly
Me: Is it in your sock?
Flynt: giggles. No
Me: Did Cinnaboo (stuffed animal) eat it?
Flynt: giggles. No
Me: Did you flush it down the potty?
Flynt: giggle squeals. No!
Me: Is it in your tummy?
Flynt: YEEESSSS! (shows me his tummy)
Repeat with different locations for hiding food. The more ridiculous the better.
The day was caped of with an earthquake which is super weird in Boise. I've been here 18 years and this was my first earthquake. It really freaked me out while I was trying to get dinner on the table. It was a 6.5 with the epicenter a little ways away. It was really not a good feeling. Wren was pretty spooked too. That was the end of talking about anything else with the kids for the rest of the day.
