Night Off

My in-laws picked up the children before dinner tonight and are keeping them until tomorrow.   I have thus declared a night off.   I'm going to bed—to watch YouTube videos about 3D printing, what else.   I'm even giving the 3D printer the night off.   The power is off and the light isn't lighting up the print bed.   It's all quiet in the mechanical room where the printer lives.

The Big Boy Update:  My son was reasonably impressed today with the LEGO-shaped part I had created from scratch in a CAD tool (I'm taking the step to start learning 3D modeling, but it's slow.)  He told me he was impressed, but I should be more impressed with the spectacular world he had created in Minecraft. Two nights ago my husband and I looked over to see him working inside what was the perfect rendering of a modern architecture house.   It was very impressive.   I thought it was a world he'd loaded, but he had created it all himself.   We told him to save it.  He likes to create and destroy things.   He said with pride mixed with a bit of annoyance, "I've already saved it."

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  My daughter was outside in her pajamas today.   I don't like that she does this but she had an exception granted by Blake, who didn't realize she'd extend the exception to the entire day, thinking she would only be out until after breakfast.   She came in and asked me for a ladder—to climb a tree with branches she couldn't reach—and had nearly destroyed her pajamas from hugging the large trunk and trying to climb it.   No more pajamas outside.
