I can’t believe it’s Sunday already. What happened?! That was the fastest week in history. We had an amazing break, but for right now, I’m just going to focus on the last day of school before break. Friday the 13th started out inauspiciously (surprise surprise). We were informed about an hour before school let out …

Happy Australia Day, everyone! Here are some Anzacs for you.
Classic Hot Wheels
This afternoon, Tom and Hot Wheels were playing a favorite car racing game on the computer in our art room. Hot Wheels was so excited about the game that he plum fell off his chair and landed on his back. Tom immediately leaned over his stunned little body and asked, “Are you ok??!” to which …
We Got Trouble
With a capital T that rhymes with V and that stands for Vegemite. It’s all out. For one of us, that’s not exactly cause for despair. For the other three, it’s sad news indeed. See what I mean?
The Visitor
We just watched The Visitor last night. Wow. The four main actors were all stunningly compelling in a quiet, layered way. Even Haaz Sleiman, whose character was charming and gregarious, had a stillness as well as a light. And Richard Jenkins – whew. I just loved his touch in this one. I couldn’t stop thinking …

This is the morning I woke up to a cold, rainy, grey day and thought – I’ll just have to wear my cheery socks that Mum gave me. This is also the day that I forgot my ballet slippers when I went to class. I’ll leave the rest of that scenario to your imaginations… …
Happy Birthday, Hot Wheels!
Is it possible that this dude is 5? (Let me amend that… this is him when he was a baby. He turned 5 today.) He’s having an awesome birthday so far, filled with lego and vehicles and books and, you guessed it – a hot wheels ramp. He’d been hoping for one for such …
Go Bandits!
It might not have made the top of the news hour for all of you, but the Silver Bandits played their final games of the year on Saturday. They did really well, making it all the way to the championship game before coming in second in their most injury-prone game of the season. I know …
Election Day Snapshots
We walked out of our polling place at 8am, so you can see I was still a little blurry. Hot Wheels, on the other hand, was bright and chipper. We spent the evening at Amy and Andy’s, jumping from station to station, watching the returns and eating the tastiest butternut soup on …
