Penguiny Goes To Work
Earlier this week Lars handed me his stuffed penguin and informed me that “Penguiny is going to work today.” So he did.

Picked up a no-solder kit for building a useless machine. Despite that, she still wanted to make it.

Lars makes a grocery list
So I couldn’t cheat off his homework
Grammy’s fountain in the sun
Just figured we’d stop by unannounced and see if Grammy was around. She was.
Lunch on the town!
The kids are still out of school today, so into G’town for lunch with dad and then a movie. Lunch at Mama Rouge was quite tasty!

Lars gets another yo-yo
His first yo-yo, a much prized possession went missing. It was gone for about a week, and he has yo-yo club after school. Kelly, being a big softie, ran out to get him a replacement at midnight.
For anything else we would have just told him “tough, you gotta keep track of your things,” but, for some reason we both agreed. So off she went. And got 3. Just in case. Luckily yo-yos are cheap.
Then the funny thing. This morning when reading the card that came with his replacement:
The original. World’s #1 Yo Yo
But he read it “The original. World’s hashtag one yo-yo”
