At The New Darwin Exhibit — January 20, 2010 at 11 am |
||
 |
|
||
|
The zoology museum opened a new exhibit entitled “Darwin: Can We Ever Forgive Him?” or something along those lines. C has been very interested in evolution lately, so we went to see what it was about. It was a lot about how he developed the theory, not really about evolution itself. And unfortunately there was quite a lot about why various people find the theory hard to swallow.

Apl and the 2x2x2 — January 13, 2010 at 9 pm |
||
|
|
||
|
Apl loves playing with the 2x2x2 rubik’s cube. It’s easy to turn and I guess she likes changing the colors around.

Apl knows there’s something going on with this pencil-paper thing.

Apl Helping — December 31, 2009 at 3 pm |
||
|
|
||
|
I brought a knitting project, a gift for mom, and Apl was “helping” while I was trying to finish it. I did get it finished by the end of the trip, and sent it home with mom. Unfortunately I haven’t gotten any pictures back yet.

Dinner Time, Where Ruby is a Goat — January 8, 2010 at 7 pm |
||
|
|
||
|
What’s going on here? I don’t know… looks like Ruby is pretending to be a goat and the rest of us are eating dinner. That’s usually how it goes.

Rubik’s Mania — December 21, 2009 at 5 pm |
||
|
|
||
|
Chris got a Rubik’s cube at the office gift exchange, and it’s transformed our lives! Or, at least, it has transformed the coffee table which is now strewn with many different kind of cubes, and some which aren’t even cubes.

Out Shopping — Jan 13, 2010 at 1:10 pm |
||
|
|
||
|
We had to get C a new snowsuit for ski school (and those snazzy gloves!) and he was surprised to see a nisse still out at one of the shopping centers. And he wanted his picture taken with it. Willingly! (He’s usually camera shy… to put it kindly.)

We had some time to spend waiting at the San Francisco airport, and Apl spent some of it rifling around in the suitcase. She’s so cute!

Ice Sculptures — January 12-19, 2010 |
||
|
|
||
|
The art teacher at Treklang is a very talented creative woman. She makes these ice castles with the children, using various vessels and techniques to make shapes with cavities for holding candles. This year she also made colored ice to hang in the tree.

Ruby at School — Jan 28, 2010 at 9:35 am |
||
|
|
||
|
I went to observe at Ruby’s classroom before our parent conference, and I saw her doing this interesting work. What a great small-motor exercise! The board has different cards that lay over top of it with different patterns of colors.
