Bike update: I've had it for three days and already I have a flat. $10 later I've got a new tube, new tire, and he gave it a bit of a fix up, oiled the brakes and pedals. :) Hopefully That's all the work it will need for the next three months. :P I swear that thing has been more of a hassle than a help since I bought it. :)
In other news, I FOUND PRISMS!!! "What does she want prisms for?" you may ask. Last week I noticed that one of the boys had a small, badly chipped prism. Despite the state of the small bit of glass, he was having a grand time holding it up to his eye and trying to walk around the house like that. I thought, 'Wouldn't it be great if he had two, whole prisms?' And thus my search for two small triangular pieces of glass began. I checked household shops, stationary shops (they sell stuff needed for school, and some kids need prisms for school), toy shops, miscellaneous shops, more stationary shops, SO MANY SHOPS, and no luck. Finally, at one of the miscellaneous shops, the owner said he didn't have prisms, but he gave me the name of a book distributor that might have them. I headed down there this morning (after getting a my flat tire repaired). The book place had wooden block prisms.....not what I was looking for. BUT, the sales lady suggested I try down the street, at a science supplier shop. BINGO!!!!!! Two small prisms for $2.50! I can't wait to show them to the boys. :)
