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.

Filling Up

Last weekend we got so much rain that our pool was filling up faster than it was draining.  I took this picture right before Don set up a pump to start pumping some water out of the pool.  Too much rain…never enough rain in California!
