Willie
and Teddy's Excellent Adventure
Do you want your fortune told? We tell fortunes now -- I (Willie) learned how to make fortune tellers and I've made a whole set of them, actually they tell lots of things besides fortunes, including math. Next time I see you I'll show them to you.
We have been continuing to read Tin Tin and remind ourselves of the Wisdom Of Calvin (but don't worry -- we have been told in no uncertain terms not to use him as a role model so WE DON'T, no sirree Bob, I mean no sirree papa).
And we have been eating doughnuts -- which makes this a successful weekend no matter what else may happen -- and continuing to work on our Scratch projects. And we have seen some lousy Star Trek episodes and one good one. One was so lousy at the end that even Mommy stayed awake long enough to give it a bad review!
In other news, Teddy tried -- and ate -- a scrambled egg. He has not asked for another one yet, but papa and mommy say this is a good time to practice optimism. OK by me (Willie), as long as they don't try to exercise it on ME!
Mmmmm, donuts. Papa went out for a little while and when he got back he had this box filled with donuts. I (willie) had a chocolate covered one and and a powdered sugar one and Teddy had TWO chocolate covered ones. It doesn't take much to please us, but donuts go a long way.
We've making making custom fortune tellers (some people call them cootie catchers) and you never know what misforture may befall you when you get yor fortune read. For instance, one of the fortune tellers we made says 'you will die' for every flap except one which says 'try again.'
'Try again.' Phew. Safe for another turn.
When we got home from hebrew school we discovered that Papa got busy! He'd been fermenting dough all day yesterday and today he cooked up these tasty loaves. Mmmm, fresh crusty peasant bread!
Aviv (pictured) and Noah came over for the evening so that Tzachi and Lara could have a hot date--well, not really a date, but it was thing at the Shul that kids weren't invited to. Outrageous, sez we.
Reading tonight happened in my room. I made myself a little nest on the rug and got comfy.
Somebody moved the mattress off the lower bunk so I had to sit on hard slats, and eat maggotty bread, and drink musty water, and walk uphill both directions and wore rags and more awful stuff like that. Leave me alone--I'm mad.
