Recent Happenings

Well after much request, I am going to try to get to updating at least once a week. The first week of November my wife and I helped out with my daughter's schools Indian Art Week. Indian art week was a week where the whole school spent the week learning about India, forgoing much of the regular learning in favor of hands on cultural art. Some children themselves from India or of Indian heritage had relatives come in (in traditional dress) and enlighten children as to their culture. My wife and i helped the children create fun works of art with an Indian theme. In the class I helped in we did simple things like watercolors over wax all the way to clay tiles and elephants. We even cut out cloth elephants to make tapestries. This all culminated on Friday of that week where the students were able to put on an art show. I think this was a great hands on learning project and the kids seemed to have a lot of fun. The art show too was great fun and the pictures can be found on our webshots album here --> http://entertainment.webshots.com/album/568554682VwWdPO
hopefully that works.

The following weekend found my daughter having her first playdate with a cute little neighbor girl who is a few months older than her. She was excited all week on top of art week to have a friend whose house she could go to. She was able to spend several hours over the course of the weekend playing with the girl. They seem to have a blast, I guess before we moved in another young girl lived in this flat and our neighbor and her got to be really good friends. When the people that lived in our flat before us moved, she was crushed, then she saw our daughter outside one day and got really excited. They seem to be getting along great, and the girl has gotten Bodhi into taking Chinese lessons and Bodhi can now count 1-10 in Chinese (the girl's family comes from China). So not only is it great that my daughter has a friend but she can learn a lot of great things just being around her.

Last week I guess the only thing of real note was my birthday on Wednesday the 13th. My daughter was picked up by her mother on Tuesday so that they could go shopping, my daughter picked out my cake and my gift. On Wednesday my daughter sung me happy birthday and presented me with my cake (a small all chocolate affair tasty but not to rich) and my present ( a cool lego set we could do together from the Exo-Force series), I was also treated to an incredible late breakfast by my wife. All in all a great day and a good week. Bodhi got to play with her friend next door over the weekend for a few more hours, including a tea party.

Today, Monday the 17th, I helped chaparone my daughters field trip to a local church to learn how a church operates. As one might imagine the kids had the most fun ringing the bells. Plus, it helped me get out for awhile.

Alright, I will probably be able to make another post tomorrow.

Thank you for reading,

P.S. If I can get the time I think I may even try to start my own played out webcomic. I think I could do it.?!!!
