Thursday, February 24, 2011. The newest representative on the Student Council* set off for his meeting this morning. The Council meets at 7:45 and astonishingly Adam leapt our of bed with enthusiasm at 7am. Those of you who are familiar with Adam's usual morning routine will share our surprise. Student Council representative is an elected position. Each 3rd - 5th grade class provides 2 representatives to discuss the student perspective on the school and its activities. Links to this post. We had a very s...

Thursday, June 30, 2011. He's on a roll. Fin did more cooking last weekend: Another cheesecake and Sticky Date Muffins. Good job I took this photograph quickly because they didn't last long. Links to this post. Thursday, June 16, 2011. Halved the quantities, and substituted ricotta for half the cream cheese. Fin did all the mixing and measuring, and especially creating crumbs with the rolling pin. He was interested that we baked it in a bath of water. Links to this post. Wednesday, June 15, 2011.

ferretworld: May 2011
http://ferretworld.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 31, 2011. I signed up to make some costumes for the 2nd grade play. The play is about lifecycles and has lots of characters. I agreed to source 2 zookeeper vests/jackets, and 2 lab coats. The plan is to keep these costumes at school for future productions of the play. The lab coats I adapted from a couple of white shirts that another parent provided. I just modified the collars, shortened the sleeves, and added the pocket. Someone else is providing round spectacles. Links to this post. This ...

ferretworld: Cabin transformation - first steps
http://ferretworld.blogspot.com/2012/05/cabin-transformation-first-steps.html
Wednesday, May 02, 2012. Cabin transformation - first steps. When we bought the cabin one of my least favourite parts was the bathroom: it was dingy and cramped with an old top-loading washing machine and electric dryer taking up a lot of the room. The dryer also boasted a long power cord draped across the room. I was so delighted with the results: how instantly more cheerful the room looks, that I rushed upstairs to paint the tiny bathroom as well. What a fantastic transformation. Cant wait to visit.

Saturday, April 30, 2011. Fin's current teacher returned from maternity leave as he first term teacher left to have her baby. Having knitted the baby surprise jacket I had a lot of the Drops Fabel yarn left over so decided to knit a sweater for the little lad. Links to this post. Thursday, April 28, 2011. Flushed with success after my 5K race I decided to enter the Saratoga to Los Gatos Great Race. This is a 4 mile race from Saratoga down highway 9 to Los Gatos. It's a real family event and I was...We we...

Sunday, April 29, 2012. End of an era. In February Adam 'bridged' out of cub scouts into being a boy scout. He loves scouts, which has much less parent participation: the boys plan and run the meetings themselves. This photo was taken just after the ceremony. Astonishingly, even with it's terrible aerodynamics, it was not the slowest car by a long chalk! Links to this post. Wednesday, April 11, 2012.

ferretworld: Winter wildlife
http://ferretworld.blogspot.com/2012/03/winter-wildlife.html
Saturday, March 31, 2012. We went up to the cabin last weekend for a non-snowboard-team trip to the slopes. Weather on Saturday was lovely; possibly the best weekend skiing we have had this year. Overnight it snowed about 6" and we woke to that soft quietness that means snow. The cabin has a metal roof, so the transition from rain (very loud) to snow is rather noticeable.
