Counting
1. Kiera counts convertibles. She became fascinated by convertibles last summer (unless it was the summer before? I'm not sure) and started pointing them out. At first, she would just comment on them, and frankly I was amazed by just how many convertibles you'll see driving around in Minnesota. She explained in late summer that she was collecting them, and by pointing them out, she was adding the convertible to her collection.
This year she started counting them. If she's been out of the house at all, you can ask her how many convertibles she's spotted today, and she will tell you. Her daily goal is ten, but whether she makes her goal is heavily dependent on how much time she spends in the car.
2. Molly, not to be outdone, watches license plates. Minnesota plates have three letters, a space, and then three numbers (or vice versa). She is specifically searching for license plates where the three digits are between 1 and 5, with no repetitions. So, GEM 324 qualifies; GEM 322 doesn't, nor does GEM 021 or GEM 382. She also tries to spot ten daily.
