Mikey continues to
eat. For a snack, he ate: popcorn, pretzels (more on this), a mandarin orange, and pecans.
The pretzels were in a wooden bowl. There was also a new jar of peanut butter on the table. Turned my back for a few minutes, to find that Mikey had:
- Opened the peanut butter (I buy "natural" which separates)
- Poured the peanut oil onto the pretzels
- Was eating the pretzels (and peanut oil - yuck) with a spoon!!
(FYI he later had an enchilada plate AND a bean and cheese burrito, plus some cheese quesadilla I made, and an ice cream drumstick, for dinner.)
The boys help us with recycling. We take glass bottles, plastic containers and cans to a recycle center. They have to help us separate the cans and plastic into large bins, and the glass has to be sorted further into colors. The sorted materials are taken to the scale and weighed; our id is checked and we get a voucher for the material. We go to the cashier to get the cash. The boys then get a share.
Both boys have banks at our house; David has spent a lot of his (and Mikey almost none). Today
David asked to go to the
Japanese marketplace (indoors; we've had rain for days now). Grandpa asked if he planned to buy anything. He decided to take his money with him. I have it on good authority that he bought something for Mom. (Can't say what - she reads the blog ;-).
