Yoga Revisited

BONUS YOGA: This morning, on the way to Annabelle's art class and the kids' science class, we were able to stop in the U-District and squeeze in a (FREE!) yoga class!

The kids' longtime yoga teacher was offering a (free!) class at the Lululemon University Village as a spring break special this a.m. Sweet! 

Though we all love Love LOVE CJ's theater class, it has come at the expense of attending yoga with the most wonderful yoga teacher ever, Nicole Koleshis.

We've known Nicole for four years now, since CJ was in kindergarten. Watching their yoga class today reminded me why I drove the kids all the way cross town for a yoga class. 

I think yoga is especially helpful for CJ. It helps him focus and center. Hopefully we'll find a way in the very near future to integrate both the yoga and the acting.

As an aside, on our way out the the University District, we got a big steamy gawk at the goings on at Husky Stadium. It was wild to see the entire south side of the bleachers torn down.

That said, it was also a RELIEF to see that structure gone. We sat there during the Oregon v. Huskies game this year, and it was awful. Good riddance!

CIRCUS, CIRCUS: Annabelle's art class was especially enjoyable today. The kids all crafted carnival/festival/circus fair scenes. I love that the materials involved were so readily available/recyclable like a small piece of drywall, foil, string, tape, glue and such.

It was big fun for her to make and equally fun for us to look at.

AFTERNOON: The kids' science class was wonderful as usual. Most of the hour was spent learning about differences between butterflies and moths. Look at their antennae for a clues - the moths' antennae are typically fuzzy, while the butterflies are more smooth and club like.

For an early dinner, we met G&G at the Pyramid Alehouse - right across from Safeco Field on a game night. It was so So SO weird and wrong being in Sodo on a game night and not going to the game.

Here we are, in front of Safeco, the kids in Mariners gear, NOT going to the game. XD

FINALISTS: Via a Seattle Pinball Museum Facebook post this evening, we learned that the documentary that CJ and Annabelle wound up having roles in has made it to the finals for the 2012 International Documentary Challenge. How cool is that?!
