wearing out one generation at a time...

farfar and thomas mounted our very lovely bathroom radiator today. thomas was so proud. i think the bathroom is really starting to look nice. i cannot wait to see the final result.while farfar and thomas were busy working in the bathroom, farmor and zoe were busy working on their own projects, yep that is right, the amazingly cheap long term investment of play doh. farmor showed zoe some of her special techniques she uses with her ceramic "play doh".
but i think we might have worked farfar too hard. found him sleeping in the shelving shortly after dinner. he is the one always saying that we should "wear out one generation at a time", seems like we are doing a pretty good job of it.

a good investment

when we were in the states last, on our way home from central america. the lovely auntie zita and us made a trip to the local new jersey toys ´r us. what a wonderland, aisles and aisles of amazing things that we just would not buy her. however, as auntie zita can attest, we did buy her many a thing anyway. one of our best buys however was called a mountain of play doh. it was cheap, but bulky, but we guessed it might be a hit. countless hours later of "me leka lera" (translated from swedish to "me play clay"), we are patting ourselves on the back. here zoe is serving up a plate of colorful strawberries, bananas, pears, and balls. bon apetit!
