About a week ago I got a text out of the blue from my former LEGO show partner, Brian. He was looing to see if I still had a hat that I used to have when I filmed with him. I did not but I did still have one of his LEGO dinosaurs. He had given it to me so that I could make an animation with it. that never happened but the dino has been living in my office for the past few years. I told him that I still had it and we set up a time for me to bring it back over to him.

Tonight I went to see Brian and give him back his dinosaur. It was pleasant enough but awkward as expected.

Time to Spread Their Wings

Wings At New School

This morning we toured Andy’s new school. Andy will be starting middle school here and this will be our first time in public school. I personally never attended any form of public school except for maybe Kindergarten? Pre-school was private, maybe. But from 1st grade to senior year of college and then for the next 5 years after that I was in a private Catholic School. It worked for me and so I figured that it would work for my kids as well. Things do not always work out the way you want them to work. A small Catholic school was not the place for Andy. Some of Andy’s classmates saw to that. We had decided at the end of last year that we were going to move Andy to a new school. Today we got to see inside the school for the first time.

the tour was really nice and the school looks like it offers quite a bit for the students. I like how the classrooms are set up and they have a large gym and cafetorium. Kids and get free school lunches, too. that will help out on those days when we are running late or when we have nothing in the house. Although, I did just get an uncrustables maker that I’d like to try out. That should be fun.

Andy seemed to enjoy the tour and signed up for one of their specials to be band. Andy has expressed that they would like to play trombone. So that should be interesting.

There was so much art around the halls and I was very happy that Andy let me take a photo of them at these great looking wings. I love the messages in the hashtags as well.
