The kids and I assembled the coffee table that has been sitting in a box propped in the computer room all this time. We put it up in Lacey's gigantic room as a play area for the rotation of Barbie, Littlest Pet Shop, Polly Pocket, and paper dolls that the girls set up their imaginary worlds with. Aeden tried out the Barbie furniture while we were upstairs today (including the TV remote in the second picture):
Lacey just finished reading, "The BFG" by Roald Dahl (The Big Friendly Giant). Aeden was like a giant in the Barbie furniture!
Brian went to Armada to meet up with some of his tenth graders and see the movie, "Twilight", based on the book by Stephenie Meyer. It was quite a hot topic among them when we first arrived since it takes place in Forks, Washington. The kids and I just stayed at home all day and had an easy day.
Maren printed her Webkinz wishlist and then cut out all the items and pasted them into a little book. She is in an "I want this" mode and informed her teacher this week that she should be in first grade. Hmm. She started a new cold sore, too, so I'm going to say that she's not feeling that great and blame illness for the grumpiness and extra attitude. Brian is sick with a new cold, so she probably is working on one too.
Lacey started on a project of making Aeden an alphabet book with magazine letters and pictures. She had told me she wanted to make an alphabet book like the one Maren is working on (we're using her worksheets from school and making them into an alphabet book) but that she was too old for that. So I suggested making one for Aeden and she loved the idea. We agreed that the picture of a dog belongs in "P" for "puppy" in Aeden's alphabet world :-)
Aeden continues to spend every available moment with the Leapster (not doing anything, just watching the demo), a little Hello Kitty play cell phone, or trying to reach off of my lap to "type" on the keyboard of my computer. When he sits down at a computer he puts both his hands right up on the home row keys, and starts clicking the mouse button. If nothing happens, the power button is next on his agenda. What a tech weenie!

These pictures crack me up.
Especially the elbows from behind in the third picture. Big, Friendly Aeden!
Can you buy Pollies, Barbies, etc in Turkey?
Love,
Grandma Teri
Barbie, Polly, My Little Pony, and Littlest Pet Shop are here in full force, though not cheap (they're about the same price as if they were in USD, you don't gain anything by the exchange rate on the imported toys). Tiny little Lego sets are 50 TL, and Hot Wheels cars are about 5 TL each.
