Spud's Cleaning Tendencies

SPUD'S FAVOURITE ONLINE GAMES | OSCAR'S TRASH COLLECTION

It's about sorting. Which requires the mental ability to organize and categorize random objects on varying attributes. No small task for such little minds!







And every time he sorts out one pile, that cheeky little Oscar dumps another pile with different criteria.

"Honey, it's time to turn the computer off now", I say.

He responds "I CAN'T Mama. Oscar keeps dumping more trash. I HAVE to organize it".



On a related note, since acquiring our new swanky vacuum cleaner last week, Spud has requested to vacuum the apartment for a minimum of 3 times per day. Second only to computer games, this kid loves to vacuum. Sorting trash and sucking up dust bunnies for fun? Man I love that kid.

Monochromatic Snack Bento

From the Top
· wee tomatoes from our deck container garden [they taste like candy!]
· hard boiled egg, cut criss-cross
· carrot skewers, simmered in pineapple juice/maple syrup [I did this last night while cleaning the kitchen]
· cheddar sticks

There's meant to be more colour variety in a traditional bento ... but sometimes it just works out like this.

Snack Pack

Today's wee snack pack with ham + grape skewers. This was packed with love ... and probably a wee too much of sodium.

These yummy blueberry pancakes that Hubs made this morning put a little dent in the giant bucket. Yum! And he made some extra medallion ones for bentos too.
