Laundry Mat

Lots to do yesterday!

There was unpacking:

 

And then we went to the laundry mat which means we needed things to do. We took a lot of things, but the thing he liked most and spent the most time doing was stringing shape beads:

 

This is the finished result:

 

So we had some fun at the laundry mat between running around pointing out all the circles on the doors of the washers and the squares where you put in the soap.  There was a fair amount of running to the three video game stations that were there too.  One had a joy stick (apparently its called a joy stick for a reason: Bruce was elated!) and another had three steering wheels. A little girl, probably about 6 years old, was there.  She was playing with the steering wheels too, which meant there was one for each of us.  The girl said that I was the last to finish, which meant I was in 5th place because thats the last place, the one for the loser.  Funny story from later-  I was hauling the wet clothes over to the dryer when the little girl left with her mom.  I turned between the banks of machines to see her running down the aisle and immediately thought, Bruce is going to run after her I bet.  I was right.  Less than two seconds later he was sprinting after her.  So I jumped out from the washers in time to catch him before he got outside.  The timing was perfect.  The people watching thought it was cute/funny/something because they all started chuckling.

So we had adventures at the laundry mat. 

One last thing.  Bruce has a thing for pumpkins.  A big thing! He talks about them all the time.  He points them out when they're on tv.  He tries to carry his moms around every time he can.  So yesterday we went to walmart so I could pick up some medication and bananas (he has a thing for those too) and in the produce section they had bags of mini pumpkins for $2.50.  What a deal.  He loves them so much he's been carrying them around, stacking them, sorting them from biggest to smallest (I was very impressed by that!) and generally talking about them incessantly.  It might be the best $2.50 I've ever spent. 

Sending our love.  Cant wait to see you guys.
