Thursay March 24th 2011

.. Long time no write, or is it short?
It seems like a year has gone by. ALl the things in Japan, all the stuff in day to day business,
it was enough to send one crazy. But, all in all, I've discussed that so many times with so many people that I think it is best left for the moment. In any case, with talk and more talk nothing has really been accomplished except getting one over the sleepless nights. For all the friends and homeless people out there, what can one say that in the end the selfish feeling prevails of thank heavens above it wasn't us, and let good times come a quickly as possible.

March is almost over, it's been cold in LA and snow falling nearby, we're uncharacteristically all dressed up in fleeces and waddling around in pelting rain. Yesterday we saw a HUUUGE rainbow before we went out at night over the whole city, Leo who is all into my old edition of Noah's ark was NOW there's the promise that WE won't be swept away in a tsunami. Let's hope.

 TWo weeks of Spring break up ahead from Monday, Leo has been waiting for them for ages, always nearing the end of a semester (probably 3 months of nonstop pressure and working is as much as he can stand, more than I could) for things to taper down a bit, he's really looking forward to it as am I, at least for a couple of weeks no hurrying around the place like a maniac from 5 in the morning. Today's blog is Leo's day, since we want to put up his pictures and "Open House" day from last night, he was so very happy to show everything off and have his many works looked at by yours truly, as usual very moving and what can one say but, after all the trials and tribulations, for the moment we seem to be over a last rut of the 6 year oldishness and too sadly starting to be very BIG indeed, much more so than to my liking. Sob.

                                        Making projects Saturday times
  


Salty (made almost all from salt ) the Diplocodus! I worked really hard on my diorama!
 Top middle Leo, the one on the left bottom corner is excellent- no that kid isn't really dark but has an excellent sense of humor
 Open House day- I've done a lot of work this semester!
 At times I wish we didn't have to spend all the time on it, but they are SO happy (as am I as you see)
when it's finished and they can compare and feel extra proud
 You've lost me here

Story books- so cute, reminds me that he's still so small and innocent, poor guy in a family that is mine- love him to bits
Oh well, we have to take various angles, you know
 Imagine your own dinosaur
 This is the last project of the family tree, forgot to take that one before-
 Middle of course
 Nea getting bored during all the to-dos at school so went off outside and demanded one of the older girls to
"Play with me"
 Quick song for the parents



 OK SO WHO FARTED?

Not me....
 As usual Nea completely behaving as one of them, always pushing to the front of the line, HA HA HA
 ..... What was I saying.
 These aren't very good, all on the slideshow on the wall, past happenings at school



MY brother making a funny face again!!!

 Family tree oral report
 Mochitsuki (making rice cakes) at school... February?
 ... and eating them too!
 Of course have fun with friends....
 Recent oral report from Dinosaurs

And finally one with my dear teacher Ezaki, who has made such a difference this year, I work a LOT but it's fun, and she REALLY cares. I don't think this comes around that often. She told me I was really trying hard and had improved SO greatly. Mummy was very happy with this, but of course, she knows this already. But she doesn't count because she would say that anyway because she loves me so much.
