We took apples to the teachers today (we really did–more on that soon). Tomorrow means Dr.’s appointments and haircuts.

Do you remember this guy? He was the centerpiece and focal point of my son’s robot birthday party last fall. I planned to explain the construction of the cake stand back then, but struggled to figure out the best way to do it. I had Boy Scout Barry help me film a video tutorial, but between […]
