Shortish and pretty vanilla. No educational breakthroughs, no major traumas, no grand messes made that couldn't be undone with a dip in the tub (and that bottle of paint is empty now). The 5-year-old finished the background art for The Queen/Birds/Magic Pennies animation.
There was a lot of food prep today. They ate pretty ravenously, and severely dented my peanut butter supply. The 2-year-old made her first sandwich, and did a pretty spiffy job of it, so there was that milestone.
The 5-year-old wanted to make a midnight snack (which I suppose will be eaten as soon as they're done with dinner) herself, her sister and their mom. White rice molded into attractive domes with a teacup, sliced raw carrots and shot glasses of milk, on saucers. She's gotten the "making food look nice" bug from me and my attempts at Japanese-style presentation I gotta remember to go up later and get my shot glasses back.
I uploaded some new pics, enjoy. Also skimmed lacey's intriguing multi-part blog on HIV/AIDS; my instinctive antiestablishmentarianism is really into the possibility, but the I'm aware of the jerkiness of my knee in that regard, so I'm approaching my research with caution.
Watched a lot of Family Guy tonight. I'm a little conflicted on the Family Guy and the kids. On the one hand, the comedy is often crude and touches (in a hilarious way) on adult subjects. On the other, we've never shied from discussing adult subjects with them, and I can't imagine a good daily dose of post-modern subversive absurdity being anything but good for them. I guess I mainly dread them mulling it over and finally quoting or questioning inappropriately in public. "Why did a fish fall out when they did the cavity search on Quagmire?"
Now I'm going up because I just got a call that there's a bunch of food left, and the light in my kitchen is out anyway, so why should I cook? When I get back, it's work and laundry night. May God grant me the endurance for both.
