September 5

Started off with great made up stories at the breakfast table. I accidentally brought in a jumping spider in a dish from the yard, so we had the chance to study him for a while. I don't know what kind he is, there are over 5,000 species of them. Sorta like beetles. But he had a bright orange spot, and four beautiful bright green eyes.Course after we had him for a bit we had to sing Itsy Bitsy Spider for fifteen minutes straight.

Trev has been fascinated again lately with Egypt, we bought a new Egypt book the other day at Barnes and Noble. He looked at that for a while today, then wanted to play the Mummy Maker game that we discovered a couple of months ago after we played a new one that we found here.

After that we tried to find a game about Frankenstein, as Trev has also been terribly interested in him (though I don't dare get out one of the old movies, I am afraid it would make him cry. It always does me, when the townspeople want to lynch him.)

While all that was going on we had a delightful time of blowing in ears, and laughing, and loving. Then we were off to cuddle with stories.

It's been a really, really great day. Lots of (unplanned) learning, (spontaneous) loving, and (joyous) living.

My favorite sort of day.
