You can never have enough...

I think kids should be challenged. They love it, and often prove totally up to it.

Funny you should say that - I was looking at another kitset model, something called an Archimedes catapult. A bit expensive but interesting & I was tempted. 

But then it occurred to me that their parents would probably kill me if I got them those...

Totally agree..

Two things I Loved to do in the school holidays was one was Guggenheim. We would play that at home. Columns of different groups such as car names, countries etc etc with the alphabet. 

And at my fathers Mothers place, she Loved scrabble, crosswords and word games. She would give us a word and we had to use her many dictionaries to find a new word in each words meanings until we got back to the original word. It wasnt easy but the twin brother always gave up well before I was stumped. 

I ended up crashing this morning and didnt wake up till noon. I seldom do that but ,must have needed it. I know I last saw 4am on the clock. MrP did the same thing apparently. 

Its his Birthday tomorrow but they gave him banners and balloons today.. Which is good cos Im spiriting him away tomorrow. We will go watch the ducks at the lake oh and I must park on the road so he can see the new Flying birds Statue.. Ill do photos.. then we will get fish and chips and go out to the wild and wooly west coast and picnic in the car. Ive told him to wear his jacket I knitted him cos he will need it.

Hope the outing goes well tomorrow Popeye.
