After we finished unwrapping our Christmas presents this morning . . .
. . . Anna (still wearing her mermaid tail) set right to work on her BrainQuest book . . .
. . . then watched Joy start assembling her little robot Max. We were told to expect that assembly would take about five hours.
Later in the afternoon, Anna and Todd decided that Christmas would be a perfect day to get out the washable paint we haven't opened in a few years. I expected the paints to have all dried in their bottles, but they were still good. Anna painted a picture of herself, Daddy, and me. Daddy is always easy to spot because he has the darkest hair of anyone in her pictures.
Speaking of Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome, he was hard at work with power tools in the next room over. Most of his Christmas and birthday budget went toward supplies for building his own StepMania dance pad. The floppy one he bought in November was stomped to death in the first week, so he decided to build his own sturdier version with capacitive copper plates. Fingers crossed that it will work.
After seven hours of assembly, Max lives! He's cute and really friendly, for a pre-programmed, plastic-based life form.
