Ada’s Work

Ada’s Art and Music Show

I was in the back of the gym so the photo isn’t that great, but Ada is the third from the right in the second row….smiling very happily.

Liam still won’t wear his new shoes.

I will have to speak with Ada about copyright laws.

Sleepover Gallery

Even More Artwork

from Ada.

I keep asking Helena and Liam why they have no art work up at school, but they keep telling me that their teacher just doesn’t put anything of theirs up.

Artwork (again)

Ada is in the morning class “Art Attack”, (or at atack – that’s what we call it because two of the hanging letters are missing from the hallway)

So, she’s had plenty of art on display in the hallways lately.

Happy Easter

Liam’s Artwork

on display at school. He was offered $10 for it by another teacher at the school. I asked him if they were doing a fundraiser where the kids sold the artwork. Liam said no; he just liked it.

at Lake Harriet

Home Depot, Hamburgers, and The Walker

Busy day for the kids. We made birdhouses at Home Depot, went to Five Brothers where the kids liked the peanuts and the trash can that opens and closes by itself (until they broke it!), then went to the Walker where we enjoyed a short film Mina Moes and playing in the art room.

Liam Art Work

Liam and I had to walk to his locker for missing work where I found that he had made this in class.

Ada’s Artwork up at Minneapolis Kids

Helena’s State Project

Helena had her state report presentation at school today. The kids sat at desks around the classroom’s perimeter and parents could talk to the kids about the projects and write comments about them.

Helena also had artwork up. She was a bit confused as to why both the finished project and a draft were up, but she was happy about it.

Old Photos

It is darn near impossible getting photos from the camera’s internal memory to a computer, particularly when you’ve lost the cable, so these have been sitting on there for over a year.

These are from 22 September 2010, taken with the kids in the car. Not sure why Liam didn’t have his picture taken. I still remember saying to myself that this is what I think of when I think of Helena….always with a book in her hand. As for Ada, she seems to be the most photogenic kid; I never seem to take a poor photo with her.
