What's Up?
Well not a whole lot lately... It's been so cold outside, i rarely even want to step out. Thank goodness we need food or else i don't know if i would ever get out there.
Andrew's been doing his homeschooling everyday. Right now he's doing a unit on Winter. Last week he had a math test and got 100% on it. Not bad considering it's for a grade 1 student and he's still only in kindergarten. He's asking a lot of questions about how things work and where people originally came from and why the dinosaurs and humans didn't live together at the same period. Pretty deep kid. We only made it to the science center once last week, they had a buildings and structures workshop. It wasn't that great. I think they under estimate the abilities of kids brains there sometimes. All they had were blocks, and asked them how big they could make them. So the kids were more interested in that part then learning how buildings actually stand. He got to see his 2 friends Anika and Ethan. Anika lost her 1st tooth the same day and Andrew did (and then she lost another one a few days later). They are exactly 2 weeks apart in age. Ethan, Andrew, Sue and i went downtown to Nathan Phillip Square for the last weekend of WinterFest. They had some really amazing shows there. One from France, called Cosmogonia. If you ever get a chance to see them i HIGHLY recommend seeing them. It was amazing. Even the sound system was out of this world. Cosmogonia is a succession of 12 scenes, the book of Genesis is recounted, played, and danced on a background of projected images portraying the Elements, cascading water and fire. (pics below)... It was very cold out so we didn't stay too long, just long enough to see the show and then we sat in a warming tent and then headed home.
Here's some of my favorite pics from the past week.
Andrew and Anika and their missing teeth.
Goofing around.
Angel of the Apocalypse
Flaming Lotus Girls (from the Burning-man artists. This was amazing.
Andrew and Ethan
This are actual balloons. They were HUGE, this was at the Science Center.
Here are some pics taken of him throughout the week that i like.
Looking intently at a computer game he's been playing all week, called Pajama Sam.
This is his favorite pose when i take pictures of him.. No matter what, he's gotta make this face.
Pure LOVE...
The End.
