For Andrew’s 100th Day celebration at school he and Allison made this sign. Each kid had to bring in 100 of something for a 100 Days project. Allison loves the little short Lava that was shown with the premiere of the movie Inside Out. It is a beautiful short and through that inspiration they made a volcano that is spewing Reese’s Pieces “lava” all around. It came home from school the other day and since we cannot keep a poster-board covered in candy we took a photo of Andrew with it.

Living Wax Museum With Sonia Sotomayor

Tonight we went to see Eva’s class do a Living Wax Museum. I had never heard of this before. That is, until this year when I saw the TV show Alex, Inc. That is the first I had ever heard of this sort of thing. A few days later I learned that Eva was going to be doing the same thing. I knew that she was doing a project on Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. I just hadn’t realized how extensive it was. She did a ton of work for it and was excellent as Sonia Sotomayor.

The way this works is you go up to one of the students and they have a few items for their person. They also have a tap-light next to them. You step up and tap the light. The student stands up and says a speech about their person. Once they are done they tap their light off and sit back down stone still. Eva did an amazing job at this. She was so serious in her role. I was impressed. All the kids did a great job as their people.

After the event we went to Box Seats with Mom and Dad. It was nice to have dinner together. Andrew was cute and funny and we were all so proud of Eva.
