There were so many empty boxes in the entryway, that at one point, you had to walk through the dining room to get to the front door. I made a dent in that pile today by taking a trip to the big recycling bin at our apartment complex.

…he put together our new IKEA furniture.
Colm turned six today!!! We also moved today so it wasn’t a very exciting day for him, but once the movers were gone, we had a fun evening!
(Project 365-4/23/10)
Colm wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese for his birthday, so….
JACKPOT!
This is what heaven looks like to Colm. 🙂
He also wanted ice cream (not cake) for his birthday, so we had an ice cream buffet.
We went to a great event at the boys’ school tonight. It was a science fair for the older kids and a science exhibition/demonstration/open house for everyone else. Colm’s class is growing lima beans, exploring the water cycle and learning about oviparous animals. Liam’s class is learning about insects and weather.
The boys checking out Liam’s meal worms. Each child has two meals worms they are taking care of. One of Liam’s had shed its skin…very cool.

I am an art literacy volunteer at the boys’ school which means I go into the classrooms and help present lessons on various artists. The children learn about the artist’s life, see examples of their work and learn some art vocabulary along the way as well. To do this, all of the volunteers go to a training session each time a new artist is going to be taught. We are taught the same way the kids are going to be taught including making a piece of art in the same style of the artist they are learning about. This one is mine.
