last friday (as in, two fridays ago) (as in, over a week ago) isaac’s school held their annual spring carnival. it’s pretty much a giant fundraiser for the school’s “specials” teachers. i guess other schools have to share their PE, art, and music teachers, but thanks to the money they raise at the carnival, they […]

isaac’s kindergarten year is winding down. this week, they have a spring carnival, accompanied by a silent auction. his class is auctioning a quilt… his teachers had the kids all draw a self portrait onto fabric and i took over from there…. sorry. the lighting wasn’t great. i waited until the last minute (this morning) […]

gingerbread house construction school party
yesterday was isaac’s last day of school before christmas vacation. or i guess, “winter break”. anyhow, they had a gingerbread house making party and i got to go hang out with iike and 16 of his best buddies while they crammed as much candy onto a feeble graham cracker structure as they possibly could. rewind […]
