Adventures on a Sunday morning

After Kindermusik on Saturday, Reid and I went to the “Mad Hatter’s Tea Party” at a nearby library. I had visions of fancy hats and little tea sets. Luckily, I didn’t share my expectations with Reid. She happily, with no-over-hyped expectation, made a headband-type hat. She glued circles of constuction paper (yellow, of course, plus others), cotton balls (cut in half by her cheap mother even though there was no cost involved), pipe cleaners twisted into fun shapes (also yellow) and crumpled up squares of tissue paper, crumpled by her very own hands, which in itself was a treat, to the band and then I fitted it to her head. At that point I noticed that I hadn’t put the glue on the side that Reid had decorated with markers. This oversight slipped right by her and I hope none of you will squeal on me. Glue is new to our craft reperatoire. Reid is funny when her fingers get stuck together or to whatever she is gluing – think dirty hands being held out imperiously to be cleaned. There was also a story time at 11:00, which we caught a bit of. I think Reid and I may have found a new place to hang out after Kindermusik to give Daddy some time to himself. We went through the drive-thru at McDonald’s for a hamburger happy meal. Reid really likes the hamburgers and they’re not (too) messy and the milk in the carton fun even when it isn’t chocolate. When I asked her if she wanted to bake with me on Sunday morning she said, “Hamurger” and so I am not exagerating when I say she really likes hamburgers (even the ones that are thick and juicy and homemade). No, I didn’t bake her hamburgers on Sunday but maybe one day …
