Hey all, in case this blog isn’t fascinating enough, check out my new school library blog. (You know you want to, Mom!) It’s filled with exciting things like library schedules and book awards! Of course I got a picture of Eve up there already! (Truthfully, I’m not sure yet on the media release situation, so I thought it best to stick to pictures of kids I know for now.) Enjoy!
Also, did you see I just did three blog posts in one evening? That’s my quota for the week! See ya next week! :)
Alan was showing the Leaf at an electric car show today, so we went to lend our support (and check out the Teslas!)
Eve adamantly did not want to go, so she sat in the Leaf the whole time while I walked Arlo and followed Lex around. He loves these cars! Lex, that is, not Arlo. Arlo wanted to be there about as much as Eve did!
Lex cracked me up because although he has been to several of these events, he was very hesitant at first to sit in the drive seat. Initially he even said, “I’m not 16 yet, I can’t do that.” Such a rule abider! It didn’t last long though. He stared in passenger seats, then the back seat of the one car big enough to have a legit back seat, and before I knew it…. look out world!
This is a super snazzy looking BMW i8. It looked like a futuristic concept car, but Alan and the BMW dealer that was there with the car both agreed that Teslas are better. :)
We bumped into a friend there with her son, checking out the cars. The boys only kind of know each other, but they were fast friends in the front seat of a Roadster!
This little Tesla Roadster is just about the right size for these two little boys!
Lex couldn’t get over the cool “falcon wing doors” that open up instead of out. He spent a lot of time checking out this Tesla Model X (their only family car so far) and pushing all the buttons.
A very lousy photo of the Tesla Model X and a very fascinated boy in his PJs. :)
After awhile I was bored, Arlo was over stressed, and Eve was hot from sitting in the car, so we decided to say goodbye to Alan (who was talking up the Leaf and quite busy without us around) and head home. That was our family outing for this weekend. :)
This post is a few days delayed, but better late than never. Thursday was open house at school. Each grade does a 10-15 minute presentation of their curriculum, but I wasn’t sure if I could get out of the library that long, so Eve and I went for a sneak peek at her classroom. She showed me around, we did the scavenger hunt, and got full access to the teachers (ha!) until 6pm when Open House officially started and I scooted back to the library. I wasn’t sure what to expect for library attendance, but I was pleased that it was packed for the entire time! Kids stopped by to introduce me to their parents (while I desperately tried to recall the kid’s name in my head!) and parents that I’m friends with stopped by and it was very nice all around. The hour flew by!
I love seeing Eve’s work. Her poetry is amazing to me, and not just because it’s often about how much she loves me. :) Lately she has been sitting in her bed at night writing poetry. She has a great one about the holidays, and the “mom” poem she wrote me a few weeks ago. At Open House she showed me her, “I am from” poem that they did in class. I love it!
Eve is an excellent writer… you just have to decode her spelling! :)
