Last Day of Summer

The most-delicious-snow-cone stand served us for the last time this year.  Six more months until summer is here again--boo hoo!  Fun  fact:  Django likes to order his snow cones, not by flavor, but by super-hero color scheme.  This one is a Superman--red, blue, and yellow (though it quickly became rainbow after diffusive mixing).

Geometry Problem

1. Imagine that you are building a chicken coop and want to place it in your backyard. Your very attentive neighbor points out that, in order to meet city code, the coop must be no fewer than 50 feet from any neighboring residence. Draw a plan of your property and the properties of your three nearest neighbors, being sure to accurately depict the proportion and location of each residence.  Shade in the areas in which you cannot legally place the coop.  How much area is left over?  Is it large enough to contain the coop that you already spent a month painstakingly building?  Does its location within this area of your yard look ridiculous?  How sad and defeated do you feel?  Show your work.  (Hint: You might want to use a 50-foot string to check your answer in your actual backyard.)

Summer Nights

In case you were wondering what goes on in our house in the evenings...

Last Day of Summer

When the snow-cone stand shuts down for the year, it is officially the last day of summer.  Of course, it is still hotter than 100 degrees Fryinhat outside, so it only means no more snow cones.

Baby Snarl Face

I love this baby.  I love this face he is making.  Love, love, love.

Desi gets tough.

Metri-cute-lation!

Tillie graduated from daycare and started pre-Kindergarten.  This is her first day of elementary school!  I'm a little bit weepy, proud, and nervous.  Fortunately, her bestie from daycare, Gianna, is also in her class, so I know she will have a really fun day.
