Knights vs. Egyptian Gods

Sunny and cold. It's like the spring is taunting us. I look out the window in the morning at vivid blue skies and golden sun that just beckon us outside, but it's cold. Strangely enough, I would have called these temperatures warm just a month ago, and we didn't hesitate to go out in it, but now that we've had a taste of a warming trend the low to mid thirties is keeping us in.

So we stayed inside and played in the middle ages this morning. We finished his knight's helmet.

And I'm pretty sure that's Sir Gawain battling Anubis.

We did get out of the house for dinner, though, and to take a field trip for one last (or first, in Calvin's case) stop by Grampa's office before he leaves it for good later this week. It's really a very pretty building with lots of history.

And since tomorrow is not only the release of the book I've been waiting for, but also supposed to make it over 40 degrees, I think we'll spend a little more time out and about then. Every once in a while you just have stay home and play knights and Egyptians, though. I wonder if that's anything like pirates and robots.

I love his helmet!!
I love the helmet, too! :)

It's a similar story here, except that it's thirty and sunny now, and will be 40's and cloudy the rest of the day. Gettin' sort of tired of 40's and cloudy! :)

Soon, though, hopefully.
