“I would argue that education, actual learning—it is hard work. It’s very...”

WatchColin’s Birthday Party: Part 1 on Vimeo (via Vimeo). The main event for Colin’s friend party this year was the BatPerson JumpingThing (really fun and a great way to get kids to jump away energy). In this vid, I even get to take the jumping thing for a try.
WatchMaking real Pumpkin Pie on Vimeo (via Vimeo). Lori and the boys are making real pumpkin pie (you know, the type where you have to actually kill, gut and skin the pumpkin yourself?)
If you are interested, here’s two of the sites we used to make the pie from vine to plate: wikihow.com/Make-Pumpkin-Pie-Straight-from-the-Pumpkin pumpkinpatchesandmore.org/pumpkinpie.php
WatchFrom spaz to serene in less than 5 seconds, Colin shows us a few of his favorite things to do when he doesn’t want to talk to the camera.
WatchAround the World with Penguin on Vimeo (via Vimeo). Just a normal after-school/dinner evening in the household…boys doing their stuff. Evan gives a rundown of his favorite/least favorite classes while working Jules Verne’s novel; Colin, well, you’ll see.
WatchThe Truth and the debate on Vimeo (via Vimeo). The Elkhart Truth invited folk to spend an evening with some of their staff and watch the debate at Antonio’s on Goshen Road, Elkhart. They fed us and allowed us to share our responses. Nice evening to spend with some folk you are Twitter friends with, eh?
WatchTired boys in the back of a tired 93 Ford Escort Wagon not answering questions.
WatchStep up to the porch on Vimeo (via Vimeo). From the “summer project continuing into the fall” category, we got our new steps today and I show you the gutters (this is the reason why people hate user-generated content: videos such as these).
WatchIn the Hall of the Mountain Evan on Vimeo (via Vimeo). Evan seems to be practicing a bit more of his piano and I catch a bit of his practice time (he’s trying to make the piece a bit more jazzy).
WatchBreaking up is hard to do on Vimeo (via Vimeo). One of the last things to do on the porch is to break up the porch and Evan films in this moving separation of brick and mortar.
