Aidan at Savvy Kids Conference

Aidan and I went to a kids conference where we practiced our Destination Imagination structure building skills. Our challenge was to build a structure using any or all of the materials available: masking tape, note cards (4), paper (6 ), straws (4) and stir sticks (4). We then measured our structure against how much weight it could hold.

Aidan came up with this design of a triangular shape braced by stir sticks and straws. It held a whopping 45 pounds!!!

Aidan's first book report

Today was Aidan's first book report presentation. His report was on the book Lions at Lunchtime which is part of the Magic Tree House series. Aidan was very happy with a few points:

Googly eyes on the lion
Clouds hanging instead of being taped to the sky
The tree house on top of the box

His presentation was great!

Aidan's back on the bike

Aidan's bike is finally working again after many months of maintenance.

He's pretty happy to be back at the track with the guys.

And pretty wiped out.... apparently it's hard work!

This picture is Aidan sleeping on the ramp into the trailer.

3D!

Mom took us (me, aidan and clara) to see Lion King 3D in special release this year. It was very fun, but Clara got a little scared during the more intense parts. She was sitting next to me and grabbed my hands while telling me "cover my eyes!" Otherwise, she had fun and got a kick out of the 3d.

Aidan was in it for the popcorn.....

Here's a shot of him trying out his uniform for the first time.

More Galveston

And a few pics of Aidan in Galveston making goofy faces at the camera.

He was the opposite of Clara and spent the entire day in the water. It was a great weekend.

Late Night Conversations

Last night at bedtime.

Clara: mom, call Santa tomorrow
Me: what do you want me to tell him?
Clara: tell him to bring some more toys at (to) me
Me: but it's not Christmas!
Clara: just tell him!
Me: I'll tell him. Maybe he can make a special trip.
Aidan: you mean a summer run?
