Three Things about Tuesday

1.) I can't believe how much fun Jonathan is having with Silly Putty! I bought it for him in a weak moment at Wal-Mart yesterday (YES! JUST PUT IT IN THE CART! I DON'T CARE WHAT IT IS! I JUST WANT TO GET OUT OF THIS FRIGGIN' PLACE!) I can't believe how many things he has thought of doing with it. It is such cheap fun! Go buy your kids some Silly Putty and watch the fun unfold.
2.) Anna and I went to vote. Once again, we had the voting/boating misunderstanding. This is the third time we've had this misunderstanding! First with Jonathan in 2004! I told Anna we were going to vote, and she crinkled up her nose and said incredulously, We're going on a BOAT, Mama? She was pretty bummed with the whole experience. I mean, democracy's great, but it sure isn't any boat ride. She said as we were leaving, They didn't have any candy this time and these stickers won't stick (with her trademark stomp of the foot!). I agreed with her that the stickers were not so great. I think they must be from 2000 or something. I wore mine on my forehead to be silly, and then I forgot to take it off before preschool pickup, so now Jonathan's teacher and several other people probably think I'm a little nutty!
3.) Our new TV is here! Samsung came through for us and honored their warranty. It is sitting in a long, slim rectangular box and can be lugged with one hand. LCD TVs are wierd. What kind of TV doesn't weight 200 lbs? I'm a little unsure about this newfangled technology.
PS Jonathan, not knowing that I was blogging about him and his Silly Putty, just came up to me and shoved a pink, elongated Silly Putty oval in my face. He said: Look, I can even make poop!

Wow. Making poop is a very cool thing to a preschooler, and to be able to make it with something other than poop? Super cool.
