For the end of the year - my mom asked me to make a 2013 calendar for her Grade 1 classs to colour and take home to their parents - I left a bit of a space at the top for each kid to have their photo taken and to stick it to the top of the Calendar. We then laminated the calendars so that you can use a red or black board marker to circle important dates. Here is the calendar:


I didn't get a chance to see any of them once they were fully coloured but i'm sure they came out beautifully :)

and some of the snaps I took of the class -

Some of my favourite individual snaps - 

(i didn't have time to edit 100 kid photos so these are all straight out the camera)

and my absolute favourite of all -

If you would like to download a copy to print and colour and give away as a Christmas gift, you can download the jpg version here and the PDF version here.

Merry Christmas y'all. 

Mathematical

I've long been a fan of New Math by Craig Damrauer. But having dipped back into his website it appears that he hasn't made any new mathematical equations in a while - so I decided to make a few of my own - enjoy!

Dumb Ways to Die

Warning: Catchy weird tune ahead - 

My fave is un-refrigerated pie boy and his timely clapping. 

Reminds me a little of this post I did a while ago. haha

Either way, don't die.

Vamps and Things

Last night was a ladies night with my lovely friends Sarah-Faye and Andrea of Clever Bird Banter. They are both die-hard twilight fans (twihards) and convinced me to come and watch the final installment of the Twilight saga with them. I have never really been into the whole "twilight vampy thing" but I have always been into movies and popcorn. This "ladies-night" date had been planned a few months weeks in advance so that I could catch up on all the previous issues of Twilight-vamp-saga that have been running on TV.

When the fiance found out I was heading off to watch Twilight he replied with  -

Anyway in the past few days of my Twilight watching, I have discovered that there are two camps of Twilight fans. Team Edward (the vampire) versus Team Jacob (the werewolf). It is pretty hard to choose which camp you would rather align yourself with since it's a choice between:

(who HATES to take his shirt off)

 

It is a very tricksy little decision. 

I remain torn. 

(i could be tempted to Team Carlisle - if he dyed his hair and lay in the sun a bit)

Anyway Both the vamp and the wolf are after the affections of Bella - the mere mortal with face of stone:

It's all very complicated. She loves the vamp, but she loves the wolf. She marries the vamp - who shows her the wolf as a wedding gift. She carrying the baby of the vamp, but tells the wolf that everything is complete when he's there, but she loves the vamp. what?

Anyway i couldn't really understand this wild attraction to the face of stone -  who wants to spend eternity (and i mean eternity) with a manic depressant who smiles, laughs and cries with the same face. But THEN, last night I watched the last movie where she becomes a vampire and has these totally mesmerising orange eyeballs and i finally got it. Even I decided to jump ship to Team Bella. I could not take my eyes off her eyeballs - (jacob, edward - i feel your immortal pain).

I Decided i also wanted to be this tragically mesmerisingly attractive so penned up my shopping list with -

Communication of the sexes.

A little guide for any man embarking on the journey of effective communication of the female counterpart. What SHE says versus what HE hears versus what she MEANS. Pay close attention.
