Innovation Lab Glow Theme

This year I decided to do a glow themed classroom. The first week, we were learning to GLOW...to be a light in someone's sadness, to find the happy in the darkness and to share our awesome qualities with others. My Innovation Lab theme is helping us all find the bright points in the world and focus on them insead of the darkness we feel with Covid ect. It's so fun to see their excitement and point out what glows. Plus, they are in the dark, wearing masks, so sharing pictures and videos seems acceptable;)

Here are a bunch of pictures:

We have also enjoyed VR:

Ellie at 4

Ellie has just been so much fun lately. She said the funniest things, and is adorable...and stubborn. She is learning so much in school and sings the songs I learned as a kid: This week's was: "Who built the Ark, Noah, Noah, who build the Ark...brother Noah built the Ark" Sometimes she has scary dreams: We gave her a real haircut finally:

She gets sneaky when she wants something...but looks totally adorable doing it:

Sometimes she gets a bit too confident:

She talks a lot. Like sometimes I leave the camera running while she has play-doh next to me to keep her busy because she thinks she is making a youtube show:

Football Season and more fun.

John and I recorded most of Jay's game last week. Here is the 18 min version: I made a shirt for myself:

More fall fun. Pumpkin patch, Jack video

Andy and Ellie built their own trampoline park: Ellie is the queen and Andy is the gaurd. I created a video tribute for Jack to let him know how much we appreciate him: We took a trip to the farm for vegatable picking:)

And Jay bought himself a bow and arrows for fun in the backyard. We've had some crazy weather and smoke and ask because of the Cameron Peak Fire in RedFeather lakes area. One is from Trish's house in Loveland looking towards Fort Collins area.

Dad made me an awesome display board for items. The blue inlay is so cool and cloudy looking.

We shaved Andy's hair off, so that is a new look;)

The boys have been totally into scootering, even at the awesome skate park. We bought them better helmets, and let them jump out front too. I bought myself a gratitude journal and it is very fun to get out during my second round of 14 day quarintine.

Andy and Ellie and I also checked out the hot air balloons in Windsor over Labor day:

Jay is embracing the masks:
