let's sing the praises of the great, white, shark

On Saturday we went to OMSI to watch a movie about riddles and sharks put on by a sister-brother team from Portland that writes books and makes movies and dresses up as pirates and sings songs, and stuff like that. We saw them first at the library last week, in a room with an audience of about 6 children and their parents, which made me once again realize what a crazy fabulous library system Portland has.

So they were previewing their next movie at OMSI, on the new gigantic (maybe 4 stories high?) movie screen there, and it was fun. They have some very catchy music.

Even if you don't have kids, this trailer is worth watching just to hear part of one of the songs (it starts at about the 1-minute  mark).

Seals and sea lions hate to be eaten
But if it ever happens at least we know the reason:
We're made of blubber.
And the sharks are blubber lovers.

At this event, there was a little craft table after where you could get shark tattoos and make shark hats, and Lucy made a hat but she didn't want to wear it, but Oscar TOTALLY wanted to wear it and basically hasn't taken it off since. It used to be that when he patted his head he wanted his hood up, but now when he pats his head he wants you to find his shark hat. He has not left the house without it since Saturday, and he likes to wear it indoors as well if the thought occurs to him.

Every day it is more and more crumpled, but basically the cutest thing ever.
