Once again, we arrive at National Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day. Indeed, we took time this afternoon to appreciate it. And then... we moved on with our lives, because we had this major cold snap today. This weekend's rain had collected on the canopy a bit outside, and this afternoon, Daddy was pressing the underside of the canopy to push the water up and off. And yet... it wasn't water. It was solid ice. Large curved scimitars of ice were there to grab, if only the handles weren't so cold!
Madison had ballet today, a class where she's beginning to learn her routines for the upcoming spring recital. In the meantime, Daddy was writing in the car and reading a book. And playing on a handheld device. The class is an hour and fifteen minutes, so you have to fill your time somehow!
We had pizza today, the first of the year actually. The absence of pizza is due to the fast - so now you can imagine we'll be having pizza with a vengeance. The news is that Pizza Hut has a gluten-free pizza. This is difficult to comprehend though, as Mommy can't do any cross contamination at all. So it's pointless if you cook a gluten loaded pizza in the oven, and then cook a gluten-free one in the same oven immediately afterwards. Unless that is not what they do, then there's no point in trying it out. We'll have to investigate, but this could be something better if we're able to eat that.
One fun thing we constructed this afternoon was a catapult. This wasn't terribly involved in the construction aspect, certainly when compared with our recent Lowe's crafts. But the payoff was fun, as we've now given Madison her first weapon of choice. Mommy quickly noticed the potential for damage in the house, and wisely gave us a bag of old marshmallows to use. Madison's enthusiasm was amazing, as we loaded up each marshmallow and… whoosh!
The force of this tiny catapult was pretty strong, especially when we used four thick rubber bands to add the tension. Madison was shooting from the couch, through the dining area and past the kitchen into the small hallway near the garage. We quickly determined that on a day with better weather, when we have stale bread or something, we can launch it off the back deck for fun. Madison decided that this most certainly must happen.
Whoosh!
