Project 365 ~ Day 3

I actually did not take this picture. This is a picture that my dad emailed to me this morning. A picture he took of himself..being goofy! I thought it'd be perfect to share here. Here is the email that with it. Enjoy! ;)

Hey, You Kids and Grandkids …

Recently, I received this pix from The North Pole. There was no name on the envelope, just that, The North Pole.

It appears to be a pix of you know who, that’s right, Sandy Claws, working in his shop, possibly carving little wooden puzzle boxes.

Who knows, maybe its just some old worn-out elf.

Project 365 ~ Day 2

My son, concentrating on his math work.

Schedule

We are working on getting back into the swing of things today. The kids are about half way through their school work. My daughter normally has ballet on Monday afternoons but the studio called to tell us that her teacher is sick, so her class this week is being postponed to Saturday morning.

We might go to a museum of arts and sciences tomorrow morning with some friends. Tomorrow afternoon I have to take our truck in for a new part to be put on.

This Friday the kids are going to a new class called Journey for the Planet. They will be using this book you see at the top of the post. For some reason I couldn't get that picture to post down here? Hmmm.

"Journey for the Planet . . . is an environmental adventure. . . . Much more than planting seeds in a milk carton and watching them grow . . . the focus is on everyday habits and how to take action. . . . There was no mistaking the feeling of empowerment and seriousness of purpose which rippled through the fifth graders [who completed the program].”– New York Times

The Journey has five sections, dealing with garbage, water, energy, eco-wise consumerism, and empowering others. Each has its own cartoon animal guide to lead the way. The 46 actions in the program include:
• "No Garbage Lunches" – using reusable packaging,
• "Aquacop" – hunting down dripping faucets,
• "Chill Out in Your Room" – finding air leaks that cause energy loss,
• "Squash Party" – carpooling,
• "Charge It!" – switching to rechargeable batteries,
• "What Goes Around Came Around" – buying recycled paper products.

Should be a very informative class. :)

Project 365 ~ Day 1

Here is today's picture. We went to visit my Grandmother-in-law. She likes to show us pictures. Here she is with a stack of pictures that she is getting ready to share with my father in law.
