Hammer Time

Published on by amyewhitelivecomLeave a comment

This past Sunday was free museum day throughout Los Angeles.  So we thought we would be smart and go to a free museum on Saturday.

We went to the Hammer Museum.  The good news was that it wasn\’t crowded at all.  The bad news was that most of the exhibits weren\’t open until the following day.  But that\’s OK, it was still a spectacular spot.

The highlight of the trip was probably these Spun Chairs.    Don and Quinn taking a spin.

Amy and Quinn taking a spin.  My face says it all!  And look at that totally casual lady right next to me.  Ha!

And they sell these in the gift shop.  Only $750.

Our Dude

Quinn\’s teacher encourages the kids to bring their ipads to school.  They have to store them in bins but she uses them for learning.  She had a list of apps that we added before he took it to school.  I have mixed feelings about it, but the kids certainly love their teacher because of this (and for many other reasons).
I found this selfie on the ipad the other day that he had taken at school.  And I occasionally get texts from him at school, which I love.  
He constantly tells me that 3rd graders should not be doing Algebra.  Ha ha!  He thinks the math homework is too hard for a 3rd grader.  But he does it.  With some apples and almond butter.  

Here\’s a close up look at his homework.  They are working on division.  Word problems.  Yuck!

TKD on International Night

On Friday night Quinn\’s school had their annual International Night.  It was quite a beautiful sight to see the diversity at his school.  Countries represented included Iran, Mexico, Guatemala, Scotland, Korea, India, China and more.

Quinn\’s taekwondo studio represented Korea in their performance.  We are so proud of Quinn for volunteering to participate in this demo and going to all the extra practices that were required.   So very proud.

The kids practice without the boards so some of them had a tough time breaking the boards.  If you want to get right to the point where Quinn crushes it, fast forward to 2:30.
