The interface was acting a little wonky from the start - having a hard time locating the kids as the players. We thought we hard it ironed out but after their first challenge, the scored seemed to indicate a problem. As evidenced by the photo above, the orange leather couch with a leopard print Snuggie beat both Annabelle and CJ's dancing scores. Bummer for them, LOL.
IT CONTINUES: Dinovember is in its last week, and last night's adventure had our dinos heading for their version of Disneyland.
YESTERDAY ONCE MORE: Once upon a time, we used to drive all the way to Columbia City once a week so the kids could enjoy a yoga class.
Then, we got spoiled when the class moved to Ballard last year. However, the Ballard class ended last spring, and the kids have been without yoga ever since.
They've asked about it, and their beloved teacher Nicole. But for whatever lame reason, it wasn't until just recently that I realized we need to resume driving down to Columbia City if we have to to go to yoga with Nicole.
The drag about that trip is that when we stopped doing that, it was darn near an hour drive each way, for a trip that should take 30 minutes (sans traffic). If we're going to resume that, we need to do something differently.
I started the reboot today, taking a wonky way that involved all round about surface streets and no highways or freeways. I couldn't believe it when we arrived just a half hour later. Success!!! And so, where there's a will, there's a way.
We were super early, so we happily killed time at Full Tilt in Columbia City. The kids played Jurassic Park pinball, plus Pac Man, Street Fighter III and more.
OH SAY CAN YOU SEE?: Star gazers have been all agog waiting for Comet ISON. I've been reading about it for months/years now, as have my space geek friends, but not a single one of 'em round the globe has managed to see what was supposed to be a show stopper. :/
NASA posted a cool video today of ISON approaching the sun.
Hopefully, ISON will survive its near sun encounter and maybe we'll see it on the flipside (although there have already been reports of it breaking up).
LET ME TELL YOU 'BOUT THE: CJ has been on a big 'independent learning' kick the last couple of days. I think he's watched every single BrainPOP ever made. Today, I was listening to him power through all the ones remotely related to religion, and then next up came all the health ones. We learned about the evils of steroids, drug and alcohol abuse and then he was on to a video about human reproduction. Oh My.
I listened in, closely, of course, and I have to give the video props for telling it like it is. So now we have that 'health' unit out of the way. Thanks, BrainPOP.
NO REST FOR THE WEARY: What does an astronaut do when he comes back from space? Apparently play video games. Tonight on his Facebook account, Italian astroaut Luca Parmitano posted video of tests he had to complete the night he arrived in Houston after landing post-ISS for 6-ish months.
