We’re off!

This time tomorrow we’ll be in Ho Chi Minh city, sweltering 🙂

Not sure if we’ll have easy access to internet in HCM, but I should be able to update at least once a week.

Thank you to our lovely house sitters for taking care if the creatures while we are away.

Pnano!

Squish has been pretty good about practicing piano, and earlier this year he perfected his first piece where each hand has a different job to do.

Yesterday, he played it for the camera 🙂

Book bag!

Inigo’s school has below average literacy, and they are working hard to improve it. One of the initiatives is building a lending library of great children’s books that come with activities. They were going to put them in plastic bags, but I wondered out loud if they might look better in cool fabric, and was invited to have a go.

This is my “proof of concept” bag. The book is “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt”, and I have included a few games and activities I found on a homeschooling website – but no doubt the teachers will have something awesome worked out.

Now I just need to see if the teachers (and the kids) like it, and find a way to make about 30 more!
