Wow.. Its been a while… Do a blog for a year and think I deserve a vacation or something? Back to work!
We had dinner at church tonight.. The youth choir performed.. But I’m afraid R stole the show. You HAVE to see this movie.. It’s hilarious!
This afternoon H went skating Here is a video of that. She started out where she couldn’t even stand on the skates.. It took 20 minutes to get around the first time… By the time she had gone around about 6 times, she was really doing quite well. She was tenacious, I’ll tell you that! She would fall and get right back up. No complaining here.
Check out this cool “skate” .. Its on a modified VW chassis.

As far as what we’ve been doing over the last couple weeks.. I made cotton candy for H’s class at her school carnival 350 cones in 3.5 hours this weekend. (that’s more than a cone a minute!) And the garage has kept me busy of course.
Last weekend, I took H to the Science Center as a reward for making the 300 book club at school, and for making 15 points on the accelerated reading program all in one day. [parental boast mode] For perspective, only one other child in her class has made the 200 book club, and no other child has made 10 points in the accelerated reading program. I can’t help but boast, I feel so proud. And M is starting to show promise too… She loves to read now, and has an imagination that is boundless. I love M’s creativity.
Anyway, here is a pic of H at the Tesla coil.. Notice that $5 bill in the corner? It stayed there… We lost it, and only “found” it when we were looing at the pictures we took..

And hey, how about this beauty? I couldn’t go big footage, so I went up… It has a 12 foot ceiling! woo hoo!
