WatchDad went to Canada and all we got was… on Vimeo (via Vimeo). And after a trip to Stratford, I usually bring some stuff home for the boys and this year it was more of the same things: toys and chocolate. Most of their purchases came from the Family and Company toy store. There’s a very special scene in the beginning of Colin in top hat and nerd glasses that should make your heart all...
WatchStratford: Pictures and our small bus on Vimeo (via Vimeo). We usually take around 40-50 kids with us; this year, the group was small enough for a small bus.
WatchStratford: Dorms, Plays, and Getting Caught on Vimeo (via Vimeo). If you haven’t been to Stratford, ON for the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, then you need to…well worth your while. When we take students there, we usually stay in the General Hospital dorm (cheap and clean) and then have time for shopping and eating. I film two of my favorite shops: Gallery Indigena...

WatchThe Sign of the Times? on Vimeo (via Vimeo). Call it “juxtaposition” or fate, but look what signs I have in my classroom and bask in the glory of the sign _outside_ my room.
WatchEach school does their P/T conferences differently; ours has all the teachers sitting at tables and parents get to visit whomever they please. We’re in the cafeteria and it’s the last 1/2 hour of the conferences.
WatchThe Matrix and Batman and Clothes…deep, man. (Yes, that’s a shot of my eeePC running cmatrix (available from your favorite *nix “apt-get” place).
WatchOn Cats and the Scientific Method on Vimeo (via Vimeo). Evan’s finishing his poster to show the results of his study “Do cats really prefer one color over the other?” The issue with this study, as you might know, is that the CatLuke is the brightest kitten in the litter. Anyway, Evan explains his results in this little vid.
WatchFamily Movie Night: The Iron Giant on Vimeo (via Vimeo). It’s a new thing we’re trying the the Judson household: family movie night. (Lori and I will pick musicals to give the boys a solid foundation in their literacy; Evan and Colin: who knows?)
WatchColin plays (and sings) on Vimeo (via Vimeo). It’s “Fooba Wooba John” as only Colin can play (notice his fingerwork on the piano) and sing.
WatchBefore an in-service on Vimeo (via Vimeo). A quick look at what an in-service is like before it begins. I’m sitting with English Teacher types and get a quick shot of our media specialist, Rita. It _is_ really that exciting.
WatchOn Homecoming floats on Vimeo (via Vimeo). This has been homecoming week at school and the tradition is for the classes to build floats which will be wheeled/pulled around the track sometime during the homecoming game (we’re playing Wawasee HS and should win the game). Here, I’m at the official “judging” of the float after school Friday.
WatchCare package for Saturday’s race on Vimeo (via Vimeo). A dailymile.com friend sent me a care package filled with my favorite candy growing up in Northern California. Evan is the guest cameraperson. Very cool, eh?
WatchOne Last Swim for the Summer on Vimeo (via Vimeo). All good things come to an end and we celebrated our last swim of the season.
WatchFlashdance Penguin on Vimeo (via Vimeo). Colin’s taken to dressing up as minor characters from his Lego product catalog and lately it’s been the Penguin (from Batman). I think he’s seen only one “film” that has the Penguin in it and that’s “Scooby-Doo meets Batman” (if that helps you at all). Anyway, the boys have seen the Bobo Fett dancing...
WatchEvan’s Appetizer on Vimeo (via Vimeo). Calling it: Peanut Butter and Jelly Peanuts.
WatchWhy do we plug our noses? on Vimeo (via Vimeo). On probably the last nice day of the year, the Judson boys jump into the pool.
WatchLabor Day and eating Swiss Chard on Vimeo (via Vimeo). And we were looking for Colin to not enjoy the stuff, but he actually did a nice job with the leafy green thing. (BTW, here’s one recipe for it: bit.ly/3qSEIW ).
