Sauteed veggies...... Oh, and sushi! My mother would have really turned her nose up at sushi....
Just for Fun: What was the last child-like fun thing you did (like blow bubbles, play with Silly Putty, play hopscotch, etc...), and when? Last night at the children's concert I marched around to the music.
Bonus Question: What was the last thing that made you smile? I have been tutoring kids today & have smiled a lot, but I'll tell about last night, because it was just so cute.
My younger granddaughter, twenty-two months, hasn't come to a concert this summer because they begin at her bedtime. The concert last night began at 7:30, but my daughter decided to bring her and see how she'd do. This concert was held at a town park where we often play, so Abbie was much more interested in climbing around the playground than anything else and only wanted her mama. Whitney was about to take her home when the conductor invited the kids up to conduct the band. When her cousin Anna took off across the field to the band, Abbie followed. She allowed the conductor, who, since this was the children's concert, was dressed as a banana, to pick her up and she conducted the band. This was adorable but then....... On the next to last piece Anna decided to go up and dance in front of the band. Whitney said to Abbie, "Go and dance with cousin Anna." Abbie took off across the field again. Instead of dancing with Anna she went and stood beside the conductor and showed him her baby doll as he was trying to conduct. He talked to her about the doll & Anna went to try & get Abbie to dance. Anna, 3yrs. old, turned around and yelled across the field, "Abbie-Dabbie isn't listening!" Abbie stood beside the conductor for the rest of the program, swaying back and forth to the music.
I think Whitney will bring her to another concert, though I'm sure Abbie won't recognize the conductor as he won't be wearing the banana costume for the rest of the season.
I hope you all have had something to smile about today!

My husband (who is 71 going on 12) likes to pose our teddy bear in silly positions and then calls me to "come see what Bennett is doing." It's something different every day. The bear might be wearing one of my hats or peering over the back of the headboard looking for dust bunnies. The other night when I brought the dinner plates into the dining room, the bear was propped up in a chair at the head of the table as if waiting to be served. Today the bear was passed out cold on the bed with his head on my pillow and his eyes covered with a sleep mask. Another time he when I was bent over at the waist blow-drying my hair in the bathroom, Bennett suddenly jumped right into my face and startled me.
Great questions!
