Andy had to make a nature habitat for an animal for a school project. He choose to make a habitat for a wolf. He used his skills with modeling clay to make stones and logs and a bit of water and then he colored in the backdrop and used a wolf that we had gotten from Safari Limited a few years back. He did a lot of work on everything and it looks really good, too. I hope that he does well on it.
We had a bit of excitement tonight. Allison came up around 11pm to let me know that the hot water heater was spraying water everywhere. I hopped off my Zoom meeting for work with a quick explanation and then headed downstairs to shut the water off. I’m not sure how long it was running but we had to do about an hours worth of cleaning to Mop up the water and clear out everything that had gotten wet. Luckily I have been pretty obsessive over not having cardboard boxes in the basement. There were a few that got wet but we were pretty lucky overall. Now, I guess we can kiss that stimulus check goodbye because it is time to replace not only the hot water heater but the whole furnace at this point. It is actually beyond time since the heater failed. Hopefully it is going to warm up more this week and we can get everything replaced quickly.
Andy has been taking an Outschool class for working with clay. This Christmas he got a bunch of clay and he’s been making all sorts of things. The other day he gave me a clay gnome. Today he made these two clay bunnies. I think he was supposed to be making baby chicks because he made the bunnies in yellow. He also said that he was making baby chicks earlier in the day. But, they’re bunnies and he did a really nice job on them.
I think today was his last class. He’s enjoyed classes but he wants to do more of his own thing. He’s very much one who moves to his own beat.
Today is National Oreo day. It is one of those days that makes me a little bit sad that I am not working in the office. I enjoy being able to bring in special foods for national days. It made everyone happy. Well, my new office is home and I went and got some special Oreos to make the family happy here. The kids liked the hazelnut ones because they are huge Nutella fans. I still like the original double stuff the best and so does Allison.
this photo came from America’s Best Defense. Eva had the new student Punch and Lunch today. This is a training session where she could bring a friend and then they had lunch. Her friend, Maryana went with her because there was free food. But, I think she really enjoyed the workout as well.
