Take Your Kid(s) To Work

Today was take your kid to work day. I don't think I could have dealt with them both there all day, so they came by for lunch. It was a fun visit. Quinn got a little loud at times, but the hall I'm on is mostly vacant at the moment so it wasn't a big deal. The kids got to see Clara and they hung out for a good while with "King" (that was as much effort as they were willing to put into trying to pronounce 'Ken').

When I came home the kids and I played outside some. Nothing major to report. I manage to take what I thought were some nice pictures, but I may be biased. Quinn did have a bit of a meltdown outside due to Catherine riding his tricycle. The concept of sharing is still something he's having trouble really understanding. Of course, he never seems to want to play with some of his stuff until the moment Catherine decides she wants to play with it. Anyway, once we got past his meltdown (and his lost tricycle privileges for two days due to the meltdown) he was better and was happy just playing soccer. I read online that this has been the worst year on record for allergies for the while now. Despite that Quinn seems to be doing okay most days, but he has been on his meds and using the nebulizer on a regular basis.









So exactly how does one take a picture of a bubble. I got a couple of nice shots of some bubbles, but they all have the problem of the reflection. You can see everything in the reflection, including me taking the picture. Maybe I should try the bigger zoom lens, but zooming in on a small moving object and getting it focused correctly seems like it would be tough (it was tough just getting it to focus on the bubbles with the smaller lens).


I saw online tonight that at the upfronts they announced a Battlestar Galactica spin off. Caprica or something like that which I assume will deal with the first uprising of the Cyclons. I'll reserve judgment on whether this is a good idea till I at least see how the execution is done.
