Wordless Wednesday: School Photos Edition

Sushi Nami

I got to take Connor out for a nice sushi lunch today.

American Gods

Connor had to read some books over the summer to prepare for his Theory of Knowledge class this fall. 

Basically, his teachers just prepared a list of the books that they should be aware of in order to have intelligent discussions. There were no assignments other than reading the books.

He selected a few from the list, and I ordered them for him. He chose The Scarlet Letter, The Jungle, Brave New World, and American Gods.

I decided to read American Gods, too, because I love Neil Gaiman.

Opening line:

Shadow had done three years in prison.

I am thinking of watching the TV adaptation, but I'm still catching up on The Sandman. 

Celebrating the End of Summer

Because Monday is the first day of the new school year, we took the boys out for a special dinner on Friday night.

I got a beach punch. Yum!

Here is one freshman and one junior.

Here are two proud parents.

Lex got the surf and turf for dinner.

Connor got a burger and sweet potato fries.

Kevin got this overloaded bloody mary.

People actually asked for photos of his amazing drink/meal.

I got the blackened chicken fettuccine alfredo with a side of hush puppies.

Souvenirs from Japan

Connor is back from Japan! And he brought home gifts for everyone! He buys really wonderful souvenirs, by the way.

Look at what he brought home for me.

He knows I love puzzles and notebooks.

And Starbucks mugs.

 

I love my new mug!   



 

And Pokemon and stickers.   

 

I put my new Raichu sticker on my laptop.   

 

Goofy is right at home with his good pal Mickey in my classroom.
