Sorry so silent

It's been a busy week (14 hours at internship, not to mention classes, and a non-bloggable event yesterday, plus regular life stuff).

I'll take a picture of the lunch box the next time I pack it up, but in the meantime, here's a link to the website, and here's one to Phantom's post about LG's lunchbox.

Muffin Man and his daddy spent the afternoon doing chemistry experiments (MM got a cool lab set for his b-day), and MM learned about acids and bases, solids and liquids, what dissolves in water, and looked salt under the microscope. He was really excited and learned alot!!! His one question though is: "Is sand a solid or a liquid?" "Cause, y'know, it doesn't hold its shape like a solid, does it? And yet...it's dry. He is really a very clever little boy. He also put together a giant space puzzle all by himself (thanks for the present, Angry Boy!) and could tell his daddy and me which planet was which.

He's also an incredibly good and patient boy. We've done an enormous number of grown-up activities (meaning ones that lots of grown-ups were attending and very few kids) this weekend and he held it together very well and was just a peach.

On another front, I'm really enjoying my internship. I'm pretty sure that I won't be working in that exact field later on, but it's very interesting and the organization is doing immensely good and important work. I'm doing a big mix of things from answering phones, to interacting (under supervision) with clients, to entering data into a state-wide database, to cutting out shapes for crafts, to babysitting, to cleaning out the media cabinet.

Now I've got to hit the books...talk to you all later!!
