Some weekend fun

Sunday afternoon Josh passed some time happily arranging potatoes on the sun porch. Who needs toys? He was very excited to do it. And once or twice paused to try to take a chop out of one, only to look up at me with sorrow in his eyes that it didn't turn out better.

Saturday the boys and I met Ian and his mom at the science museum. Ian and Sam wandered around with Ian's mom, while I followed Josh. Josh loves stairs, an area where you can roll balls down inclined planes, the native American section with its many dioramas and sloping floors, and the mastodon. What a hit! He kept pointing and exclaiming and pointing and exclaiming. :-)

Our clothes drier broke, which meant a trip with the boys to the laundromat Sunday afternoon. Josh engaged first in his favorite pastime, cart racing. This was followed by cart riding, once he demonstrated that he could climb in all on his own. It didn't take long before both boys were bored, but that's part of the package. Since we use laundromats on many of our vacations, it reminded me of being on vacation, only without the warm weather or exotic locales. 

Sunday a pair of ducks wandered up from the creek and around our lawn. As Josh and I stood on the sun porch they came right up next to the window, as if they could tell that Josh, caged, couldn't hurt them. They then moseyed around the front of the house, and off somewhere else. Clearly ducks who have spent time on golf courses.
