Dad at one time brought this little green rubber hose, and both John and Hanna love playing with it. John is so funny when he "jumps rope" with it. He kinda hops up and down and shakes the hose, and counts "1..2..3..14..18.." Hanna likes to have it wrapped around her fairly tightly and then she loves to "escape" from it! We'll wrap it around and tie it, and she likes to either walk till it falls off of her, or she'll pull at it till she's free. She's going to be another Houdini!

John learned another little song in playtime this week. There's a baby shark, and he makes little pinching motions, a momma shark, and makes larger bite motions with forefinger and thumb, etc...

I had a dentist appt this morning. Appears I have a little cavity spot I'll have to get filled in a couple weeks. Argh.

No real big plans for the weekend. Just stay around the house, maybe do some grilling, etc...

The Peanuts character this year in St Paul is Linus! They put up a number of plastic/rubber/vinyl statues all over town. They are the same statue, but each is painted a different way. They have artists paint them, and there's often a theme for the statue relating to something near where they are placed.

Sounds like security at the Canadien border is being increased with the recent threats. I wonder if Mike/Joni will have troubles.
