Whew. Things have been busy, and there haven't been a lot of posts. Here's some highlights.
A is really into opera, specifically Enrico Caruso. He was working on a opera involving a princess who had been switched at birth by her evil uncle and was working on a farm; she goes to the farmer's market, and meets the prince, who is slumming it in the village as a jester. Love at first site, secret wedding plans, and a sword fight at the end. There was a lot of focus on the sword fight at the end. A lot. And not too many songs... so I'm not entirely sure, but I think the cast staged a revolt and now A is working on a new opera.
A's science project this year is "How do you make records hard to scratch?" He wanted to see if records dipped in chocolate would be harder to scratch, but his teacher guided him away from that, so he used aluminum foil and plastic wrap instead.
Birthday Eight is coming up soon. The list of loot has already been created, and seems to include a lot of --ahem-- vintage materials. A probably would like the electrical arc cigar lighter from a local DIY-Steampunk-Vintage-Antique store...
Oh. Right, and there was an art class over Spring Break.
