Took the boys to Angel Island today, they had a great time drawing in their sketchbooks and playing on the beach.

My three Sons
Finally found a good hat but it’s behind glass and there are three guards between it and the exit.
Went to the Degas show at the Legion of Honor this morning. Impressionist paintings and French millinery, this show was made just for me. Loved it. Sat down with the kids and drew ladies in hats for a few hours.

Had a drawing party with the boys at Cafe Verde.

My son Silas made an instructional video for baking Dan Tat, Hong Kong style egg tarts. I think he did a pretty good job. Enjoy.
While visiting the Exploratorium with my boys and we stumbled upon the most amazing giant concave mirror. I felt like Link being drawn into the mirror world in Zelda: a Link to the Past. Very trippy.
Made Sabine cookies with the kids today.
My boys are really into drawing maps. I owe this to their obsessive viewing of geography songs on kids learning tube.
Took the kids to the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive and randomly stubbled into the Fisher Family Art Lab. Community drawing party awesomeness! Very cool. Always prepared I pulled out our sketchbooks and went at it. The highlight was the giant box of crazy stamp pads. The boys loved that.

Halloween has come and gone. The boys decided we all go as scary things this year so I was a zombie with a harpoon through his heart and they were the Grim reaper, a Red Devin and a Skeleton. Lot of fun.
It rained pretty good this year so I set up a bunch of blacklights and set about drawing all over myself with highlighters.


Drawing on the beach, while the Blue Angels loop over the bay and my kids play in the sand. Not a bad day.
