Origami

Molly got an origami set for her birthday from a friend.  I tried to help her make a penguin but messed it up by step 2 - oops.  I was able to make the fortune teller for her (mostly because I made a thousand of them in junior high).  So Matt stepped in to "help" her.  "Help" meaning he made them while she played in the yard.  "Help" meaning I couldn't get him to stop making them.  He was a little bit obsessed - even getting a little possessive at times.  He later told me that he was secretly THRILLED when she got this gift because HE had always wanted it!  Now I know what to get him for his birthday here in a few weeks.  

Matt named his origami parrot Raspberry Jam.  Maybe a little jealous of my dad's pet Marmalade, ya think?
