Undies

Dieter visited yesterdat. He and Layden had fun outside in the dirt. Laydne would scoop up the dirt and put it into Dieter's hands and laugh wildly. Sometimes it got on Dieter, very funny, once it got on Mom, also very funny, then it got on Layden, not as funny.
Layden and I visited Al and Mimi yesterdat while Oli helped Nancy with some stuff at work. Layden was pretty well behaved until he started feeling a bit more comfortable. Then he went after the ornaments (yes they still have a small pink Christmas tree set up, yes they are Buddhist). Then he went after the China teacups, picking each one up very elegantly and sipping out of it then moving to the next one in line. He also thought the talking Pooh bear was great, he smiled and hugged it and smiled.
We didn't really get anything much done yesterday because Layden decided to wake up at 6 am. He woke us up too (Oli he woke up pulling his underarm hairs). He stayed awake talking happily and wallowing about till somewhere around 7:30 while Oli and I tried to keep sleeping anyway, I atleast was fairly unsuccessful. Then he went to sleep again til around 9:00 or so and I got a bit more sleep, then he woke and I continued in my state of denial until around 10:00 when I gave up and accepted the fact I wasn't sleeping anymore. Oli got up a bit before that. So in short, we didn't really get moving til late in the day and we were definitely tired. Then we visited with the neighbor, visited with Dieter, went out to dinner, oli went to work and I visited with Al and Mimi.
Disturbingly enough our topic of conversation today was the news.

First item, crazy Pullman man/Uof I student who stole 96 lbs or 1600 pairs of womens underwear. One pair was distinctive enough that it could be traced back through a European shop to the owner.

Second item, crazy UofI student who went around the western US tracking down former high school class mates and killing them because they were stealing his "aura".

Today we slept in, yet I still thought it must be 6 am when we woke up. We went to the craft fair, a quilt show and grocery shopping with Lynda. For dinner we had some lentil chili from a mix we got a the craft show. Strangely it tasted better at the show. It rained today so we didn't have to feel guilty for not working outside.
