news...

CORRECTION: Calvin didn't post this! Jen did!
We saw Spike Lee this evening. We actually didn't take a picture of him, but I thought it would be funny to act like we had another brush with fame. Actually, the kids really paid off again. We were sitting far in the back. Calvin wanted to go check things out up front while we waited for the talk to start. While up in the front, we were offered some of the unclaimed "reserved" seating. We sat in the third row, center. Cool! The talk was interesting, but mostly sounded like a commencement speech: follow your dreams, work hard, and don't get sucked into negative media representations of black people.



Here are some other things that have been going on...
Eleanor and I made a marble run out of Legos and a tube.

Eleanor started a club called, "Girls for Hillary." They made and posted this sign on Ludlow.



Calvin made a water balloon, froze it outside, and cut it open. The result was a frozen water egg. He kept saying, "It's as cold as ice!" and laughing.




Calvin read about a tasting experiment. We all had unsweetened chocolate, lemon juice, sugar, and salt.
