Skylar and Carter at Play

Skylar and Carter both love playing but in very different ways. Carter is definitely a "toy" person. He loved Hot Wheels as a baby, then Thomas the Train as a toddler, and now Star Wars and Legos as a kid. Skylar on the other hand is more into crafts, science, music, reading, and make believe. Skylar bought this weekend a very interesting "toy" -- an artificial Owl Pellet!
She bought it at one of her new favorite stores, Hobby Lobby, in the "learning games" section. It is a reproduction of a regurgitated barn own pallet complete with a mole skeleton inside! You pick apart the clump of lint and clean feathers to find a resin coated skeleton of a small animal (a mole in this place). Weird fun for sure but also very educational!
Carter, on the other hand, spent the weekend playing with his Lego Star Wars figures and sets. He's more interested in the characters than the boxed Star Wars Lego sets. Instead he uses regular Lego to build his own space ships, forts, and speeder bikes!
Carter saw a new Lego set in the store last week. It is the Landspeeder bike from Episode 3. Again, its not because its a landspeeder that he's excited -- its because the Lego set comes with six (6!) minifigs -- Luke, Obi-wan, C3P0, R2-D2, and two bad guys. We decided to create a rewards chart to help him earn enough money to get it! Good luck Carter -- it should hopefully taken only a month.
