TKD Testing-Finally!

Thursday, June 3, 2010

Liam has been a blue belt for the past six months. He missed testing right before we moved and then it took us a while to find a TKD place we liked here, so he missed testing again. Today he FINALLY got to test. He did a great job and I am so glad he doesn’t have to practice his blue belt form any more. I doubt he will ever forget it he has done it so many times.

Rainy Day Science (Project 365-6/2/10)

Thursday, June 3, 2010

Colm and I usually end up playing baseball, basketball and/or soccer outside for the good part of most mornings before he goes to afternoon kindy, but since it has been raining almost non-stop here for the past two weeks we haven’t been able to do as much of that. While trying to decide what he wanted to do today he remembered his science kit that he got for his birthday two birthdays ago that we never used but found last week while we were unpacking some boxes.

Whatever it Takes (Project 365-6/1/10)

Thursday, June 3, 2010

Colm doesn’t like his apples sliced and it is too hard for him to eat one whole. He does, however, love his apples cut into spirals…cored, peeled and spiraled, that is.

OMSI

Thursday, June 3, 2010

Since our beach plans got rained out, we decided to head out to OMSI. Liam had already been there on a field trip and wanted to go back and the rest of us had never been there so off we went.

There is a real (former) Navy sub at the museum that you can go on. It was very cool, but I can’t imagine living in those close quarters for 90 days at a time. I think know I would get claustrophobic.
