May 1 - New Monthly Schedule!

Okay, a bit late here, but BOOM! It's May!

A few new things in the works for this month:

• We'll be making superhero costumes on the 5th as part of an extended Superhero riff, which will hopefully give Lyric some more clothing options with which he feels comfortable.
• There's some crafting on the 6th for Mother's Day on the 8th... working on something special for that!
• My kids have been tussling recently (brothers), but I'm going to try an experiment on the 19th: I'm going to try and teach them the basics of wrestling, so they can have a set of rules to tussle with...
• On the 30th, in honor of performance artist Marina Abramovic's half birthday, we're going to try something REALLY WEIRD. You will want to see it.

Stay tuned, Morning Funsters!

April 2 - New Schedule! Plus some thoughts

April schedule is ready! Three full weeks and then SPRING BREAK! Whooooooo!

April is here and we've got a whole new bunch of activities planned for our mornings. Only one new thing this month, the Tea Party Manners challenge on the 18th. That should be fun.

Other fun things this month:

• Hopefully at some point sooner rather than later this month we'll release the 360 film we made this week, THERE IS A MONSTER IN THE PLAYGROUND. We still have to shoot the credit sequence and I have to learn how to edit together a 360 film, but we're close to getting that done.
• Possibly a bird-centric treasure hunt on the 13th, since Zephyr is studying them at school. Good news for ornithologists!
• STYLE UPDATE: I want to try a new, more scientific writing voice this week, as an experiment. If it seems like it's working I might try and keep it up for the whole month, but let's see how it goes first.
• Maybe we'll shoot a (raunchy) Spring Break comedy during the last week of the month? Like, four and a half year old raunchy, so lots of butt and booger talk. Not really sure yet, this is almost certainly a terrible idea. But is it SO terrible that it's a great idea? I'll return to this idea later.

So stay tuned for more #parenting fun and #radicalhonesty! Tell me if you think I'm getting the hang of this.
