A Few Random Blurps

I will start out with a few recent Aman quotes: He comes down in the morning on a school day with a button-up shirt on and shorts. The shirt is buttoned up all the way to the top and tight and Britt asks, "Hey, how come you have your shirt buttoned up all the way?". He looks at her then proceeds to unbutton the shirt a few buttons and then points to his bare chest and says, "See that? That! is chest skin. I don't like anyone seeing my chest skin!" He then buttons up again and runs off to school. The other one what about him playing with this tiny flashlight and he asks, "Daddy can I look in your ear?", and I'm like, "sure"... so he sticks the flashlight in there and looks around for a long time. When he finishes he is all quiet. So I said, "So... what does it look like?" and he replied, "Just like a skatepark but with lots of hair!" Things have mellowed out a bit. Work isn't so crazy at the moment. I am working some other projects that are not quite as chaotic... but it's only a small pause in activities from the other project that is about to heat up next week probably. I biked to work on thursday... a mellow 35 minutes. I am going to try to do that more often. Britt worked like crazy to open the gym which happened on monday only to have an issue set her back a week or so in having the grand opening celebration with the big wigs and the press. Send some good thoughts her way... The boys had their Baha'i school graduation last weekend (the pic of us making faces). It was a nice ceremony to acknowledge their hard work this year and thank the teachers for the effort put towards preparing and executing the classes all year. We will break for the summer. The few picture of a water here are of Puffer's Pond here in Amherst. Isaiah and I biked there two thursday's ago went swimming and then biked to Aman's friends house to pick up Aman. We took full advantage of Alfie and Ericka's latest experiment in bike riding, half a bike attached to another. Very useful and they can contribute to the pedaling. The fair was also in town last weekend. Same as any other fair... fun, loud, expensive.. I rode this thing called the strawberry that just went round and round and I thought I was going to hurl but kept it down... barely. We all road the big boat thingy that goes back and forth... there's a before pic here... Alfie and I went to see Spiderman3 but it was sold out. So we went to see Next with Nicolas Cage... it is a must see... we really enjoyed the concept and the story... and don't pay to go see Spiderman... what a waste... Britt and I saw it later and fell asleep in it... it is amazing how popular things can be even if they are bad as long as they are hyped enough.... que fome. The last weird pic is of the boys holding some knives I carved for them while on a nice Mother's Day hike last sunday. We celebrated the three mother's with us but also all the rest of you awesome mother's out there by hiking along a beautiful river close by...
