Nate staged a small venue limited run performance art piece the other day.


Nate staged a small venue limited run performance art piece the other day. He spent most of the day preparing in the "quiet time" room. A photo of the sign he made for the show is attached. Visitors were required to press a green button he made to enter the show. Once in they were seated and the lighting adjusted (the hallway light needed to be off). He then placed his toy electric guitar on a small red box (his "guitar amp") and pressed a button on the guitar to play one of the pre-recorded songs. He then went inside a box he had prepared with a happy face drawn on it and a hat on top. He then stuck his hands out of two holes he had cut in the sides of the box and began waving his hands to the music (his rendering of it can be seen on the sign if you look closely). I have no idea where he gets these ideas from, but wherever it is, the supply appears to be endless.

Sara and I went to one of the major chain bookstores today.

Sara and I went to one of the major chain bookstores today. They had a series of children's board books based on famous literary classics, including a few of Jane Austen's works. Naturally, Sara needed to pick one up. As she was paying for it, she struck up a conversation with the clerk. They both started geeking out about how cool it was. The clerk, "Isn't it neat how they're making these kid's books based on famous movies?" Ummmm.....

Nate and James got a gold fish last night. This morning, Nate was excited about how he was going to train it.
"Well, Nate, that won't really work, because you can't talk to your fish."
Thinks for a bit, "I know! I'll use hand signals and moving my head to teach it what's good and bad."
"Unfortunately, you can't really train gold fish, they aren't that smart."
"Why? "
"Well, they have really small brains."
"James has a small head... "

Our boys aren't ready to give up summer yet, so we've hit a compromise, they wear shorts under their pants.

I love Rdio for things like this. Our two year old requested "duck party" music this morning.
