New Blog...

I have merged Tobias' and Lorelei's blog into one. You can find new posts about them on:

If I Were a Carpenter

Tobias really wants a guinea pig. When I was little I remember having a rabbit and a guinea pig. I remember liking having them around. My mom remembers them stinking up the house and having to clean them all the time. Good thing the rabbit and the guinea pig weren’t my idea but hers at the time :-). Anyway, ours ended up in a rather sizeable cage outside.

So, I told Tobias all this and now we need a rather sizeable cage so we can keep the guinea pig outside… and that’s our rather sizeable project right now. I really enjoy that because we first made a plan, drew it up, got some wood and here we just got started on sawing the first poles. It’s going to be a really nice cage, but it will be a while before it is finished (and hence, before we actually have a guinea pig ;-)).

90 Years Ago

This year Tobias’ school celebrates it’s 90th anniversary. That is quite the milestone and they dedicated some class projects to it. In Lorelei’s class they looked at vehicles for transportation then and now. In Tobias’ class they looked into “professions” of then and now. Very interesting stuff. On the opening day of the celebration, February 8th, they went to school dressed in the kinds of clothes they wore 90 years ago. The perfect kodak moment, right? Well, Lorelei was a bit upset for one reason or other, but Tobias really wanted his picture taken in these “cool” clothes :-). He even made a sign (the piece of paper he is holding) saying: “This is 90 years ago!”, just in case :-).

They also took some pictures at school. Here’s one of Lorelei’s class from the school’s Facebook timeline (Lorelei is in the bottom row on the very left).
