Sign Collection- Marc's entry

Thanks to Marc, we have a new entry in the funny store names/signs collection.

Some new pictures

Eleanor had a food drive again. She got 110 pounds of food for FreeStore/FoodBank.Notice that Calvin is lurking under the table.









The kids took apart a VCR for a science lesson.








Calvin is watching the big game with Matt on a big screen with Matt. Eleanor had a chance to play with friends and didn't come home for the game. Thanks to UC's media lending library, Matt has a data projector for the weekend. The flash ruined the movie theater effect.

C is sick today. Not really that sick, but he does have a fever. Being C, he was taking his temp before Matt or I were out of bed. Since he's sick, he doesn't have to do schoolwork. I do have him graphing his fever. True, I'm reinforcing his neurotic desire to monitor his temp. But I am also sneaking in schoolwork to a child who is well enough to be playing. :-)

E was bummed about the injustice of it. That is, C is not really that sick but doesn't have to do his work.Plus, she gets blue about not going to school. So, I invited her to join me in my "office" today. Here's a pic of her reading in Sitwells. We've been here for 2 hours or so. I am surprised that she's enjoying being here so much. And I'm surprised how well she's just doing her own thing.
