Sunday at board games place

Sunday, when Tatiana woke up she started on the math that I'd laid out for her.  I started to get out an IKEA thing to build.   She asked if she could help me build when she was done with that math sheet.  I said Yes.   She was done by the time I was ready to start to build the right trash drawer.  She was a good help.  I think building IKEA stuff is good for her because she has to study the drawing and pay attention to details.    The KIWI crates develop that same skill. 

She'd gone back to schoolwork, which was her handwriting.   She asked if she could watch TV.   I said that she could watch a little after she was done with handwriting.  Then we worked some more, and Scotland woke up.   After he'd settled in, he asked what time it was.   I looked at the clock and church had started 15 minutes before that.   So, we hustled into nice cloths and went to church. 

After church, Tatiana changed clothes and I grabbed some food and we went to the family night at the board game place.   Scotland couldn't go because he was meeting Godfather Ty.   We had a lot of fun.   Ambre and Carol were there.   We played the Potion game (Tatiana picked it out).   We all enjoyed that.   Then we played the Camel Race game.   That was good too.  They both were different from other games.  Then we played Splendor.   Weirdly, the group doesn't own that one.  But, someone brought it with them.   Carol hadn't played it.   We played to 15.   Tatiana was to my right and she was quite pleased that she took the card I wanted, several times.   In fact, that is what she told Scotland when he asked her at bedtime about her afternoon. 

Then Ambre and Carol had to leave.   Tatiana and I played a couple of games.   I was getting tired of the silly games and was making 'going home' noises.   Then Tatiana told me that a little girl was there and could she play with her.   Of course she could.  Everyone was playing games with each other, so I walked to the 7-11 to get hot dogs for me and donuts for her.  Tatiana asked for two, and I knew one was for the other little girl.  About when I was done eating, a guy showed up.  We played a slightly complicated game that was fun.   Don't know if I'd want to buy it, but it was fun. 

Tatiana and the other girl had made a mess.  But, they didn't fuss when we said it was cleanup time.  The other girl's daddy and I helped. 

Charming

A couple of times when I told Tatiana that she was 'charming' she would say "No I am pretty'
I told her that yesterday
this time, I had more time so I told her that someone could be both. 
Turns out that she thought that Charming was a boy adjective, that it was basically Handsome
which explains why she insisted she was pretty
when I told her that it meant people liked to be around her
then she was happy to be called charming
she got the idea from Prince Charming.

Singing Lullaby to puppies

Older People don't have soft skin like kids

Tatiana asked the other day why older people don't have the soft skin like kids do. 
I told her cumulative sun damage. 
She is going to put on sunscreen when she plays in the backyard. 
They have sunscreen that is in a stick like deodorant.   She can put that on herself
She is concerned about cataracts too.   I asked Scotland where that came from.   It is because Yogi has minor cataracts. 
so maybe she'll wear sunglasses too.

Bun Bun Bun Bun Bunzie

The pink bunny from the elk's easter basket is

bun bun bun bun bunzie.

And when you say "So its name is bun bun bun bun bunzie"

She says No its name is ... then adds some extra bun's in there.
