Quadoculars

Phoebe found a toilet paper roll ("toy-yet paper roll," as she says) and coloured on it and started using it as a telescope, only she wasn't satisfied with the idea of a telescope. Only one eye? How lame is that?!

"These 'noculars are broken," she insisted. "I need another toy-yet paper roll so I can fix them into real 'noculars!"

I didn't know where another toilet paper roll was off the top of my head (because I'd just donated all our toilet paper rolls to Alexander's recycled art class at co-op), but Miriam said she and Rachel had a toilet paper roll (or two or three) kicking around their bathroom. 

She brought them up and Phoebe was in toilet paper roll heaven. 

Do you know what's better than a lousy single-lens telescope? 

Binoculars.

Obviously.

Do you want to know what's better than binoculars?

Why, quadoculars, of course!!

This image is just a still taken from a video of her spinning around looking at everything in her world (in the video I keep trying to get her to say "everything" because she had been spinning and squealing, "I see everything!" before I started recording...but, naturally, stopped doing that when I started recording (though the spinning part she kept)), but you can see how pleased she is with her creation.

She was adamant that she needed all four toilet paper rolls for her super binoculars. She was equally adamant that the quadoculars come to church with us and for some reason Andrew relented. 

Last week's pumpkin had to sit in the car, but this week's quadoculars made it all the way into the chapel with us and Phoebe watched the bulk of the primary program through them.
