New Photos

I thought I should post something recent for a change… all from this and last week


Leilani and I invented a game. You roll 2 dice, multiply and create art in the process. Then you proceed to build cities, colonies and connections…


Leilani drew an Apapane – and I think she did it really well


Quote “I am an animal, caught in a poacher’s cage, help…”


It’s raining, it’s pouring




More multiplying

True colors, no filters, photoshop used only to crop and remove wires.




Some schoolwork:
Spelling test

An essay. Mikey had just pooped on Leilani’s puzzle pieces. Handwriting indicates that she is not that happy…

But when she’s happy the handwriting is pretty nice.

And just because it happened today at school: Talking about work and employment in social studies I wanted Leilani to find the word “unemployed”. Sonja: “Many people have no work, we call them ….?” Leilani “Lazy!”

She also misidentified a Gameboy as a Nintendo which I thought was pretty funny as kids always accuse their parents of not being able to tell the difference. She argued for a while, and only stopped then when I called upon the all-knowledgeable Google to be the referee…

We talked about rich and poor and amounts of money they have and spend. She brought up debt. Out of nowhere she started to sing.”Paying interest is awful, paying interest is awful…” (It happened in German, and originally she sang “Zinsen zahlen ist schrecklich, Zinsen zahlen ist schrecklich…”

Leilanis favorite Joke
