Last week our little Sarah turned six and a half. Here she is, with a cake adorned with 6.5 candles. No gifts were exchanged, but Emma and I each made her a half card (mine was cut on the horizontal) and after dinner we all sang half of the birthday song.
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Pictured below: half a Boston Cream pie. Our neighbors received the other half:
Did I mention Sarah lost her first tooth right around when school started? I’m not sure if I posted this photo here, but in case I haven’t, here it is (I adore this picture – it’s so Sarah):
She looks like someone out of Oliver, doesn’t she?
Yesterday I spent the entire day with Sarah’s class at the Science & Tech museum. It’s not one of my favourite places to go (is it just me or is it really dark in there?), but I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to learn about Shapes and Structures and hear a 90-minute lesson about Materials.
Best part of the day: watching kids make a rope out of toilet paper and hoisting up one of their classmates on it. The TP was the one ply industrial kind too! See another application for TP-rope here, one that was actually suggested to our group of eager students. ;)
Most challenging part of the day: making sure no one got lost in the “Nortel connexions” tunnels.
A few kids emerged a little bedraggled. Fortunately, no one was left behind. :)
