The 2010 Chili Cookoff!!!

Theme: Circus Characters for the 12 and under. Dress as your parents for the 13 and above.

Cameron and Michael went as Mimes. They even did a short skit. Pretty cute.

Here is Elyse getting her clown face on by her daddy.

Jer went as a motorcycle performer.

This is Michael and this is actually what the boys looked like.

Math!!!

I can't believe I am actually going to tell on myself. Today.... I don't like school. Simple huh?

Have you ever tried teaching "Geometric Construction" to your boys when you don't even remember that there were such words in the English Language? Well I have plain forgotten some of these terms. It seems that lately I am re-learning as we go along. Kind of painful. All it is is making congruent (meaning- the same) lines or angles or both using a straightedge and a compass. Using words like radius, rays, diameter, segments, perpendiculars, xyz, abc etc... So I am constantly having to go back and reread definitions. Crazy!!! So there you have it. Sometimes you ask me how I do it... well today I'm not. I am passing it on to Eric. =) Time for Lunch!!!

And maybe a walk! Fresh Air! Beautiful day, who wants to be inside anyways?
