Crafts

Rachel and Elizabeth went on a mini trip this weekend, leaving Parker and Miranda home with Dad. We had an ambitious agenda which began with Parker building the bird feeder that Grandma Judy gave him on her last visit. He assembled it with a little help, and then painted it. He was very pleased with it, and it's now hanging from a branch in the backyard, filled with hamster food.




Miranda was happy to do a beading project, and completed a couple of them in a row.



Much of the day was spent assembling and then optimizing Parker's newest, most elaborate marble run. With the Chaos Tower, I think we've reached the highest level of marble run sophistication, with a fulle flexible, modular system enabling quite elaborate and complex runs. The set features a range of tracks, as well as different cool things, like pendulum splitters, multi-ball traps, trampolines, as well as the inevitable loopty loop. Parker was in heaven as we assembled one of the model layouts which uses the whole set.




We also went to Kasper's Hotdogs for lunch, and had chocolate chip waffles for dessert. A good day all around.
