The 8 year old has spent the morning wrapped in a sleeping bag, parked in the recliner, reading. It always makes me really happy to have my kids lolling about the house, spending hours and hours engrossed in books.
What, you ask, is Bowman reading today?
Jules Verne’s “Journey To The Centre Of The Earth”.
Or, as Bow calls it, “Journey To The Cen-Tray Of The Earth”.

Mason has recently added to his uber-geek status by watching subtitled anime. And thus, has become somewhat obsessed with both the Japanese language and weapons of destruction. More specifically, throwing stars.
Much to his dismay, his parents will not allow him to have a throwing star. For very obvious reasons.
To his credit, he will not be daunted.
This morning, I was hit square in the forehead with a 4 pointed origami throwing star.
He definitely wins this round.

My first year teaching a little boy brought a throwing star for show-n-tell. My principal just happened to be in for an informal observation. Thank goodness it was back in the days before the overreaction to all things pointed and weapon. It was quite the teachable moment in my first grade room. Stick to the origami stars!

We are going to try to slice open watermellons in the yard with them. Now she is busy making a Bleach AMV and has spent 2.5 days synching the anime splices to a song. You have only just begun, my dear. Just you wait, it is a disease.
