December 1st, 2010

See? Done. Christmas Power! Activate! It’s December, y’all! Therefore it’s finally legal to tune in [...]

We Made Two Easy Advent Calendars. And No One Got Hurt.

December 1st, 2010

Yesterday after school, Harry and I made two advent calendars. Actually, I made two Advent Calendars while Harry colored a Robot with markers.

  • Texas Water Safari.

    This is my parents’ backyard. And this was my parents’ backyard the other day…filled with canoers rowing through on the world’s toughest canoe race. And whenever this race happens, once a year, this is what my family does. We sit on the dock and root for the rowers. I missed this year because I was in [...]
