Life Adventures for Miles

Today's adventure was make-believe! Luna started out the day with her blocks and her figuring pups and a blanket picnic napping area made up of all her blankets and couch pillows for her stuffed pups. Her pup cars came out to play after lunch and zoomed around the rocking gaming chair and her wooden piece I saved for her messy playing so the floor would be saved (doesn't always work that way of course). We also spent considerable time watching the ninja lego series on Netflix and about 5 pm we remembered the slow cooking rice she wanted. We also played "The Claw" in which we both took turns pretending to be the claw machines. Full of clawing for the stuffed pups, break downs, and low batteries. Towards the end, she was adding lots of different things to use the claw on, even herself! I gotta say her almost 40 ponds with just my arms and probably my back/core is hard work! 

Today while Luna played along with the big screen and all her stuffed animals and blankets (side-stepping into playing outside on occasion) and making a big old mess in the living room, my adventure was downsizing a pair of husband pants (it might be a theme this week) and while I was tackling that, I went into a rabbit hole of the YouTuber,  Jon Solo . One of his main series' is all about explaining the origins of well-loved (or not so loved) stories we all know: fables, fairytales, myths and legends, as well as, beloved movies and books. I knew some of the origin stories, however, I was unaware that there were just as many "happy" endings as "messed up" endings (the bad guys and/or good guys didn't always die) and while most-if not all-of them had some sort of moral or lesson involved (especially ones that were ages and ages-old), there were some that were just written out of the whims of the author. If you like watching that type of stuff I highly recomme

 So today was another home day adventure. Luna played with her screens, her pups and her building blocks which led to outside fun with pup and pj masks playing and picnicking. Her big adventure was destroying a big bucket still mostly full of popcorn and trying to clean it up (playing more then actual sweeping, of course). Her wanting the big screen led into my main adventure today, however. While finally mending a pair of old pants of my other half's for me to wear, I got to netflix today and watch the full 8 seasons of Voltron: Legendary Defenders! So this is a animation show (Dreamworks) about, well, defending good and defeating evil. I was impressed that it was all very much a humanity evil, i.,e., the evil was explored into why they were "evil" and doing what they were doing which led to, yes, destroying them, but at the same time, absolving them of their mistakes which led to their ultimate acceptance and help in saving the worlds and realms around them. As this was
