Monday
Proving that he has an active imagination, Bennett told me the story of Mr. Smee's closet, which is downstairs next to Captain Hook's closet. It has sweaters (Smee was cold) and shirts.
Tuesday
Again with the active imagination, as we were about to leave for school Bennett started talking about how "hola" was in the garden. It was only when he mentioned a snowman that I realized that he meant Olaf from the movie Frozen. And then he talked about Frozen all the way to school, and again on the way home.
Wednesday
Grandpa picked Bennett up early from school. The weather was kind of icky so they went back to Grandpa's house where Bennett created an art project entitled "house". When we got home from work Grandpa brought Bennett home and stayed for dinner. Bennett was quite the fan of the Papa John's garlic dipping sauce.

Thursday
Tonight Bennett gobbled up his steak and potatoes. He tried asparagus and said he liked it, but then wasn't a fan of his second bite. We'll have to try it again later.
Friday
Tonight was the Good Shepherd rummage sale. Due to timing we ate dinner in the car and Bennett surprised us by how neatly he ate and also how much he ate. Guess a growth spurt might be coming. We picked up lots of good stuff at the rummage sale- some Duplos, movies, a Skippy John Jones book, a vintage Fisher Price stove, hose reel, and a puzzle (unfortunately it's missing a piece).
Saturday
Chris' Great-Aunt Elsie passed away so we went to her funeral in Connecticut on Saturday. Bennett was a little unclear on what exactly was happening and what things were (what was the casket, what were the people doing with it, etc) but overall he was pretty well behaved.
Grandma and Grandpa Tedford had come up from Georgia for the funeral so since they were so close, they came up to our house afterwards.
Bennett napped on the way home and then for a little longer once we got home. When he woke up we all went outside and did a little bit of yard work- putting in some edging around a couple of flower beds and started spreading some mulch.
For dinner we made one of our OSV recipes-- friccassee chicken white. Not as good as when we went to the DCV, but still pretty good.
Sunday
Grandma and Grandpa came with us to Sturbridge for our weekly visit. Bennett continues his now weekly habit of drawing in the dirt with a stick. At least he's happy, right?

Back at home, after nap we worked on spreading mulch but of course almost as soon as we started it started to rain. I think it was a short-lived rain, but by the time we were cleaned up and inside again we had lost motivation to go back out and work some more.
