$4 Fun!

This afternoon I stopped in at the grocery store to pick up a few items, and browsed the offerings at the sushi station to find some lunch for myself (which I did - a box of California rolls, yum!)

I noticed a tub of teeny tiny baby octopuses in some sort of sesame sauce, and just KNEW I had to get them for Luken. They were just under $4, which was great. He is always asking for some of the octopus in the seafood case, which is $18/pound, and I'm certain he wouldn't actually EAT any. And I doubt I'd get enough of it for $4 to be very fun to play with.

Anyway, I surprised Luken with my find after his quiet time, and had the camera out and ready to go before he knew what hit him! :D





Hmmm... these are kind of slimy, Mom!




OK, I'll try one... I'll just lick it!


He declared it gross!

So, I offered to rinse them off so he could just play.







Suddenly, he launched into some Wall-e story, haha! He was very animated!








Back to octopus play...




During all of this, I had the TV on, which was showing Obama inauguration coverage.

I said to Luken, "Do you see that man? He is our new President!"
He thought that was very cool. I had him repeat "President Obama."
He asked, "What was the old President's name?"
I told him, "George Bush."
He said, "That's a cool name! I like THAT name!" :P Silly boy!

Then he started telling stories about a little octopus who was cold.








These octopuses are stinky!












Well, I guess it was more of a science experiment than a snack. He decided to eat some Golfish. Ha!
