Day 5 of Vacation

The solar spotlights Ninja and Special K bought today

It threatened to rain all day, but held off long enough for us to make our Home Depot Run, eat lunch and put together more solar lights for the backyard. Special K broke the stake for one of the solar spotlights, while I put together an electric one only to discover that we were missing the power component for the light. It took me a long time to figure out how to put together what I did assemble.

Then the rain started. What a cold and dreary day it's been. We should have just stayed in bed and waited it out. Our neighbour's girl at approximately 5pm, leapt out of the car of her friend's mother, ran past her own house and straight up to our front door. We had promised her that we would continue doing the crystal experiment. The crystal experiment is taking far too long and we decided that we should downsize it to the introductory kit rather than the Geode kit we are working with. So we broke the news to the girl. She was ok with that as long as we kept her very occupied and stimulated right now. Special K loves watching the way she interacts with the world. We put together a puzzle, played dominoes and cards, blew up balloons (which she tried at first to fill up with water instead), played with an activity book, and played checkers.

Her father showed up at 6:30pm to pick her up.
