November 5 - 11
I started the week going back to the art museum to take another look at the Wonder Rooms exhibit. It is so inspirational.

| My absolute fav painted by a local artist. |
Maceo was supposed to have advanced improv class but it was cancelled. He went to view the final performance of The Miracle Worker instead.
Bishop returned home from his campout. He said it was one of his favorite campouts.
The scoutmaster took this photo of two of the scouts sleeping in a huge hammock. Yup that would be Bishop's head on the right. Two peas in a pod, for sure! Love it!!!

We shared some of Bishop's original pieces of pottery work online for some feedback and submitted one piece for consideration for an exhibition.
Maceo went to the gym for a workout.
Bishop went to his culinary internship.
Bishop went to scouts.
Bishop has been listening to a podcast entitled "Flash Forward." He shared it with me today. We listened to an episode called "Easy Bake Organs" which was about bioprinted replacement organs. Fascinating!
I bought air plants, and learned to care for them, for a piece of Bishop's pottery. Isn't it fabulous?
Bishop introduced me to Ralph Bakshi and his animated version ofThe Lord of the Rings.
Maceo had a three hour troupe rehearsal where they were being taught by Nikki Snelson and Ben Cameron, both productive performers on Broadway and beyond.
After a day of dancing (for Maceo and his girlfriend) came an evening of "fighting". Maceo and Bishop relived their younger years by dueling with their light sabers. Bishop defeated Maceo so Brenna stepped in. It was her first such duel and she defeated the mighty Bishop.
(P.S. Please pardon the absolute mess in the living room. I assure you that it is not typical. I decided to clean the attic and Maceo decided to seriously clean his room and it is as if they both heaved into the living room. Sigh!).
Bishop attended science group today where they had an open ended project to make a catapult for some mini punkin chunkin.
Bishop had lunch at Creasian than went to pottery lessons.
Maceo had preprofessional acting class than dinner with friends at a China buffet.
Bishop told me about an interview of Alison Gopnik, a researcher and the author of The Scientist in the Crib, that he had listened to. We then spent about an hour discussing the research and the implications for eduction. I must read this research!
Bishop has been listening to the podcast Origin Stories. He told me about an episode entitled The Power Paradox. More interesting knowledge!
Maceo has been working diligently on learning to play the guitar.
Maceo has been going out for runs and has continued doing his stretches and yoga.
The boys and I went to an art exhibit.
The boys spent the better part of an evening reliving bits of their childhood. They pulled out old DS games and searched through boxes in the attic for their YuGiOh cards. They watched some videos on playing YuGiOh and Magic then spent over an hour playing YuGiOh together.
Maceo and his girl went to a holiday vintage and craft fair. Maceo bought me a cool piece of concrete art.
Bishop and I attended yet another Eagle Scout Court of Honor. He called for the color guard, again.
Afterwards, I took the boys to buy Magic cards and then spent some time playing.
Maceo ended the week by going to a Rocky Horror Show cast reunion and Bishop playing video games with his friends.
So another week ends and we begin to look towards another week.
This is on our to-do list.
As is this event.
Additionally, we hope to see a speaker on international issues at a local university, a photo exhibit that has to do with immigration issues in Italy and another that has to do with the Ozarks. We also hope to go to a special event at the museum that will include stories and poetry regarding the Vietnam War and while there we will look at the Wonder Rooms exhibit.
Bishop will likely have culinary internship and needs to begin preparing for Thanksgiving baklava orders. I believe will be starting the woodwork merit badge and, hopefully, making progress on Eagle Scout merit badges. He also has some pots to trim and might sign up for more glass blowing and blacksmithing.
Maceo will likely be starting Titus Andronicus rehearsals, will have ppt acting and vocal instruction and an improv show, and will begin giving vocal instruction to a young student.
We want to get caught up on Constitutional Literacy and Personal Finance.
And, I think I should begin planning our Thanksgiving meal and I want to meet with Ozark International Outreach.
It should be a wonderfully adventurous week!
