We've had some realllllly unfortunate luck with our Sears dishwasher and have spent a ridiculous number of days waiting for technicians in the machine's short, six months of life. The first three appointments, I was irritated. This last one, more experienced and therefore knowing that we would wait an extra 2, 5 or 7 hours past the arranged appointment, I decided to rearrange my brain for a little staycation.
So, despite the glorious 70 degree weather, we had an indoor party for two (well, er, three, counting BB;) In addition to couch cuddling while book reading, baking and playdough making (followed by giddy mess making), the trains came out for "the biggest track ever, Mama!" Every time we pull out the wooden track, I fall more in love with it. The creativity, the puzzle building, the spacial relations, the angles and forethought and, well, the fun :) Its been especially fun to watch P's interaction with this toy change and grow over the last three years.
Of course, this appointment didn't fix the machine, either. But it did fix my mindset. We're looking forward to another staycation, next week... And, hopefully, someday, a working dishwasher.
