What kind of sound does a vacuum make?

Danelle bought a Dirt Devil hand-held vacuum to use pick up crumbs from the new floor. Amazing how many crumbs a 5 year old and a 21 month old can make. Kellen likes the sound, at least from a distance. When he sees it on the counter he does his best impersonation. Over and over. And over. He is getting better at commnicating with words. He'll ask for ice - 'more ice' and he'll tell you when he wants to be tickled 'tickle?' He'll say 'yes' pretty well. He hangs on the 's' for a bit, but this is an improvement over not saying the 's' at all. You can always tell when he is saying no. No problem with the pronunciation, and he throws in a good head shake for good measure.

Kristin is excited for a project she is working on at daycare. Sounds like they are going to make a little movie. She is going to play a clown. She has a clown nose at home that she is going to bring in, and she picked out a hat to bring as well. From what I could get from her, the activity is part of a 'Hollywood' theme and she'll be making props and part of her costume at daycare.

Danelle and I must be too used to working 'on deadline' at our works. We spent some time this evening putting in a book order and filling out paperwork for Kristin to start a bank account through a program at her elementary school. Both are due tomorrow.
