An Amazon shipment arrived this afternoon with a couple new books. A quick glance through them reveals some high points -- Tutankhamen's Gift and If I Were a Kid in Ancient Egypt look great. Pyramids - 50 Hands-on Activities to Experience Ancient Egypt looks disappointing -- the projects are no more detailed or engaging than the stuff you can download for free on the internet.

The kids really wanted to go to a park with a playground this afternoon, so we did. Umm... why?! We were there for 2.5 hours -- they spent 15 minutes of that on the play equipment. They spent the remaining time clambering about the creek. Now... I'm not complaining, mind you. It's just that the water at this creek isn't the cleanest. I would have taken them to a park with a real stream if they hadn't said that all they wanted to do was play on the structures. :-)

Ian... can you tell what even yesterday evening this picture is depicting??! Ok. Now that Ian guessed correctly I can tell the story... On Sunday Ian put on one of those mud masks. I didn't realize he was in the bathroom -- I thought he was working in the living room on the couch. I walked into the bathroom and he said, "Boo!" Well I jumped about 3 feet into the air and screamed so loudly the kids came running. :-)
