Here are a few picture of our shop in progress. We are going to be opening Mid June. We will be having our grand opening July 3rd and 4th. The Tinkers will be there on Saturday the 3rd. It should be great fun. You can visits our website for more info at o-gelato.com. Or if you are in Santa Fe come see us at the DeVargus Center on Pasea de Peralta.

My little C really wants to do this. Looks exciting. Hope you are enjoying the Olympic build up.

Tangrams are great for math. They help with spacial awareness and they’re fun.

We have a great book the kids like to use with the tangrams, “Grandfather Tang’s Story” by Ann Tompert.  It’s a great story with different puzzles through out.

You can find lots of different Tangram sets on the web. We are particularly fond of out wooden set, but I would love to have a travel set as well.

OK, I have a rule that I try to follow (we all cheat now and again) that you can’t have junk food unless you make it yourself. My reasoning for this is that it might be less than healthy but at least I know what every ingredient in it is.
A also love convenient foods (who doesn’t) but I am a food snob and won’t compromise on taste. There are those Sunday mornings when I just want that extra 15 minutes of sleep. These are the mornings I love instant oatmeal. …

I don’t know about where you are but it is snowing again. We have had snow every few days since Christmas. It has been a white January.
The kids have build snow forts, gone sledding at Hyde Park and all in all had a really good time. Even Dave has gotten in on the fun.
