Cold and First Lego League

It is getting colder here in NH. I don't like going outside in the cold.


PlusOne puts my coat on in the morning, so I stay warm, but I still don't like getting out of bed and going outside.


With PlusOne and mom at the First Lego League Competition, I hope to do more of this with dad. He may go watch for a while. But if I sit on him, he may not want to disturb me.

Nevis asked what First Lego League is. So here is an answer:

FIRST LEGO League (FLL) is a global program created to get kids excited about science and technology. Geared for ages 9-14 (up to 16 outside of the U.S. and Canada), FLL utilizes theme-based Challenges to engage kids in research, problem solving, and engineering. The cornerstones of the program are its Core Values, which emphasize contributions of others, friendly sportsmanship, learning, and community involvement.

The challenge this year is Global Warming. PlusOne has been doing a lot of research on it. He tells mom that bears in Northern Spain no longer hibernate in the winter. Mom was very surprised by that.

Mom will, no doubt, tell you all about it on Sunday, with photos and everything. Oh joy! Another day my blog is hijacked.

  1. I like your coat - it looks very warm does your sister have one as well?
    When Mom was in Middle School she was in Mind Quest. It sounds similar to First Lego League. Hope that plus one is having fun!

  3. What a stylish looking jacket. You wouldn't need it here, though! It's very pleasant outside and all the dogs are extra frisky because it's cool.
