Puri

There are just not enough hours in a day anymore. It is past eleven and I ought to be asleep but this is my only chance to update the blog. Because I am so tired though I won't remember half of what I wanted to write. Something I forgot to add last week is Bohdin's new fascination with rock, paper, scissors. It originated in Korea so I introduced it to him last week. He loves it. I am tired of it. We've been talking about India recently so I decided to make some Indian food. (I still plan to do the Korean food but haven't yet.) I made some dal, and potato thing with a name I've forgotten and puris which are fried unleavened bread. The puris were the only part of the meal that was a hit. I made them again for a second time tonight.

The Louisville Worldfest was this weekend so the kids, my mom, and me headed downtown on Saturday. The event was near the science museum and when we passed by we saw bouncy structures and lots of people. The kids wanted to do that first. The history museum was celebrating founder's day with a pirate theme. They tried to break the record for most people dressed as pirates in one location. Bohdin spotted a pirate with a leather treasure chest and was intrigued. I stood nearby to ask him about it and overheard him talking to two other pirates. The treasure chest holder had just come back from filming Pirates of the Caribbean 4. That sounded pretty cool. One of the pirates asked about his treasure chest and he said he intended to fill it with 6000 gold dollar coins and do a treasure hunt. I told Bohdin but he didn't hear he eventually part of the plan and was disappointed that we weren't part of it. We saw the end of some sort of pirate reenactment then Bohdin did some bouncy stuff before we headed a few blocks east to Worldfest.

We didn't have a lot of time at Worldfest. It seemed pretty interesting. We did see one Indian dance which tied in to our study of India but Bohdin didn't care. He was more interested in the Native American flutes. We didn't have a chance to really study them but we'll go back next year when we'll give ourselves more time to look around. The weather was gorgeous. It was the coolest day we've had in months with highs in the 70s. Nyla went all out with a long sleeve shirt and hat. She would have worn gloves also if she had found them. It's supposed to be back to 89 tomorrow but we enjoyed it for that brief time. Maybe summer will eventually end.
