Thing 19 – Youtube

August 29, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized

I have tried this twice – so hopefully third times the charm. I am embedding a video that Andrew and Grayson made this summer and posted to youtube. I love the fact that Andrew and Grayson used their imaginations to come up with the video – they thought about camera angles and then edited in [...]

Thing 13 – Watching in my pj’s – not for me

August 28, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized

I tried several times to watch and listen.  But I am a miserable failure at staying tuned in.  I keep thinking about things that I need to be doing, the kids interrupt, and the dog comes to get me to let him out.  It seems that I am the only one in the family that [...]
