I’ve been wanting to write about it for ages, since July for one of them, and I have no still pictures. Lame, lame, lame, Monica. You must have glorious color pictures! I know! Sorry, Blog. Please, forgive.

I’m going to record a quickie blurb about both anyway, so I can mark the activities here so I can find them years from now when I’m wondering what the heck we did that was fun. I’m sure I will forget.

No. 1 Activity sans picture: First Lego League Robotics Competition. Way cool. We got to hang out with the High Schoolers. Very much fun. My boys were in their glory. Husband – I convinced him to go too, because in my mind he is head of our Science Department – enjoyed it. Tween girl – sort of, eventually. Littlest girl. Yes, we all enjoyed very much. It’s a lot tougher to drive those robots than it looks.

No. 2 Activity sans picture: Shakespeare play at Raritan Valley Community College. A Midsummer’s Nights Dream, a student adaptation. Kids loved it. Having the boys listen to the Jim Weiss version before we went was a good idea. All four hung on every word, every scene. Yes, even my four year old. True, this was only an hour play, but they got it. The next day, Peter called his brother an acorn as an insult. Edmund ran around referring to himself as Puck.

Ha. Acorn.

There you go. Sorry this is isn’t so flashy. I just want to get it out of my head so I can replace it with something else. Now as long as my blog doesn’t blow up, I’ll be okay.

Okay?
