Chad gets er done

Chad Causey is now the official democratic candidate for the irst district this fall. We (me and the kids that is) like to think his narrow victory was pushed over the top by this very stylin' bike commuter on his way to work on primary runoff election day. Go Daddy Go!

Robots

This project was a long time in the making - 2 weeks really - but here they are. Our finished robots. Evie's is on the left and Linden's is on the right.

Letter of the day

Today was our first letter: A. 25 more to go. Linden is really excited. We made a list of words, wrote the letter, made letter rubbings, made a collage of things that start with A and put it all in our Letter of the Day Book. Hopefully we can sustain the excitement for the next 6 weeks.

Princess Aligator

This is Linden's new favorite thing to be/pretend: "Princess Alligator" Evie is always Princess Duck - although she doesn't require a specific costume. Linden requires these specific costume elements: tutu, cane, blue tie, pink fairy wings, and alligator hat. Evie's one addition are the hula hoops which are usually the stage. The performance though mostly consists of telling me that I can't talk during the performance and then Linden announces "ready? everyone introduce their feelings to Princess Duck." We aren't really sure what that means but its seems to be part of the performance. Evie's interpretation of the perfromance is to just dance inside the hula hoop.
