For the kid who asks, "When are we going to learn about science?"

Charlie wants to know when he is going to learn science - yesterday we decided that he is a hip hop scientist (and inventor). 

Here is what I found to help him out:
Neuroscience for Kids -- link enclosed -- so I can find it again.
http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/chsense.html

Maybe he can solve the mystery of migraines!  Though I don't want to wait that long...

Just a snip from the site:
The Senses - Hearing, Smell, Taste, Touch, Vision, Working Together

Our SENSES tell us:
What is out in the environment.
How much is out there.
Is there more or less of it than before.
Where is it.
Is it changing in time or place.

Adorable Baby Cousin

In an adorable hat knit by Brenda.

Zumbatomic and Indiana Jones


After school activity for Monday - Zumbatomic!  Fun.  (I was exhausted after shopping all day - that child has go!)


Charlie's getting ready for Halloween! He is going to be Indian Jones.  Slowly I am getting the costume.  A month or two ago I got the kacki pants and cowboy-ish hat and boots.  Today Mimi and I found him this great Indy whip.  We also found a satchel and a very Indy shirt.  Missing pieces: Jacket - found one but not quite sure, it's not worn leather :)
and glasses.  Overall it's looking pretty good! 

Hope he doesn't decide to herd his adorable baby cousin...

And Now for the Non-Scary Portion of Tony Andrew's Farm

Much less - haunting...













The Haunted Visit to Tony Andrew's Farm

I don't even want to count the number of shots I have of the back of Charlie's head - many, MANY, MaNy.  So here is what we will call catalogue sheek. 

The haunted house at Tony Andrew's Farm scared the heck out of Charlie - and the lights were on - and no people jumped out!  But I admit it was pretty scary...See for yourself.

The pictures I did get were quick shots cause Charlie DEMANDED my hand - and each time we went by an emergency exit he wanted to exit, but only a little bit.

p.s. The haunted house is located in the eerie house on the long walk to the back pumpkin patch - no wonder why it looked so spooky!

Kung Fu Charlie at the Yarmouth Port Parade

Thursday Charlie met Shi De Cheng, a Shaolin monk, and Sunday he marched in the Yarmouth Port Seaside Parade with USA Kung Fu Academy.  He had a ton of fun with the staff, even called Sifu after and asked to learn the staff form.  Sifu said yes if he can deliver a month of good reports.  Charlie's response, "Yes, sir."

I love kung fu.  :)













Mornings are Tough

Especially when your mom follows you around with a camera!  Too bad Chaz - you've been tagged.




Throw me a bone kid.  How about a smile?
