Tuesday bits

This is how they teach math now. Choose 100 items that can be affixed to a T-shirt and then go to school and count each other. We picked googly eyes. Gluing them on was almost as exciting as the Monopoly game, but it made a fun shirt that sounds like moraccas when you walk.

Mr. 1st grader cutie pie brought this home yesterday (from Martin Luther King Jr. day). I love how kids write.

And look, my friend Tara is selling these cute necklaces that she makes out of dominos. She made this one for Annie.

Aren't they cute?! DD sent over these pix of a few that she's selling at Chic Mama. So get to the store and check them out, or you can also reach Tara here.

Here's another interesting project that I found on photojojo. This man (Diego Goldberg) took a headshot of his family EVERY YEAR, beginning in 1976, up until 2007. What a simple and powerful way to document a family.

And in yet another bit of unrelated news, there are still a few spots left for the Valentine's Shoot this Saturday. Call 545-7217 if you want to get in!

The 'Arrow of Time' was captivating! Wow! Growing old enough to see your own kids' hair lines receding. Thought provoking to say the least.

DUDE. Does that say "I have a dream of people GETTING DOWN even if they are white or black?" If so, that kid is the coolest kid ever. I'm gonna put on some funk and totally get down.
