The Children's Museum of Phoenix

My first couple of weeks of being a SAHM (Stay-At-Home-Mom for those of you who don't know the lingo!) have been WONDERFUL!!!! My kids are healthy and happy and we are having a great time together! We spend some of our days getting the house back in order (and we still have a little ways to go) but also do lots of fun stuff too! Last Wednesday we met my friend Amber and her little man Liam at the Children's Museum of Phoenix. What a great place!!! There are all kinds of hands-on-activities for the kids to do! My personal favorite was the "noodle forest" where there are hundreds of foam noodles hanging from the ceiling and the kids walk through them. TOO FUN! The first time through Liam came out missing his shoes! Amber stayed with Laim and Jacy in the art studio where they got to make some new headbands and I took Jake to the 3 and under room so that he could run around a bit himself. We really did have a great time... Amber, we can't wait for our next "field trip" with you and Liam!

Native Drums

For the past 6 weeks Jayne's class (all the 4th and 5th graders) at school have been working with a resident artist learning about the  Tlingit (KLING kit), the Haida (HIGH duh) and the Tsimshian (SIM she ann) native tribes of Southeast Alaska. They have learned how to introduce themselves in the native tongue. They have learned about the art and form styles used in totems and the meanings behind the symbols. They even had the opportunity to make a deer skin drum (Goo-jow), including soaking the deer skin and stretching it over the wood drum frame and letting it set until it hardened. Once it was completely dry they got to draw their chosen native symbol on the drum and the paint it. They look SO COOL! They even made their own drum stick using a stick, fabric, buck leather, and deer tendon, which was used as the string to tie it all together. This past week the students performed for the rest of the school, singing a song/chant in the native tongue. It is a welcome message...

Whale Watching

This weekend was BEAUTIFUL weather!!!  We have all been feeling a little under the weather, but we have made sure to get outside a little each day.  On Saturday we were fortunate enough to be downtown by the cruise ships docks and caught a few glimpses of a humpback whale!  When they bubble feed you can see a ring of bubble start to surface on the water and then they come straight up the center with open mouths to feed.  It is so cool to see them!  They are really big!  Sunday afternoon was a nice drive to all the great spots that we love to view the ocean from.  It was a gorgeous sunset!  Someday I still can't believe that we live here!!!
