Bathing suits, bowling pins and aliens

Every morning gives rise to new beginnings and adventures at Garfield Prison. We just never know what we will encounter. 

After another game of wakeup chicken, the Guard blinked once again and ventured into the common areas to discover what awaits. The 'blink' was driven by a number of factors. #1 had already awoken us to show us her crafting creativity. This morning it was a picture collage that was created after finding a stash of hidden pictures that had not yet been secured in photo albums. Multiple pictures were cut up an collagued together with copious amounts of tape ( thankfully not the duct tape). High points for creativity, low points for destruction of some good pictures. 

Upon venturing deeper into the prison, it was discovered that #3 has a severe case of cabin fever. She had rifled through her closet and found bathing suits. Instead of dressing herself in weather appropriate clothes, she mixed and matched 3 seperate bathing suits for her outfit. And talked of swimming and water. It was also soon disvovered that her beach for the day is her bathtub where water has been introduced. 

Like a race car, our motto is 'sit down, strap in and shut up.'  Just go with it. 

Last evening we were extremely lucky to engage the services of a local teen so that we could escape temporarily. The Warden and Guard were able to escape to do some bowling. Four on four, boys against girls. Who won?  Well, apparently not all bowling pins are created equal. While on paper the boys won 2 of 3 matches, the Warden insists she was the winner because she individually beat everyone on her team each game, and beat the Guard 2 of 3 games. I'll just leave it at that. I am sure I will catch heat for even the suggestion that I infered that she was not the winner as she believes. 

We really are lucky though to have found an extremely smart and good sitter to help us. Upon return she have us the report of the bed time interactions, which, to her credit, was handled much better than this Guard would have likely handled it. Her creativity is really what makes me mention her at. She left us with this hilarious staging of some of #2's toy aliens. 

That is good stuff right there!!
