We took down the Christmas tree yesterday and I thought it would be fun to experiment with my new Christmas present (<a href="http://gopro.com/" target="_blank">GoPro Camera</a>) to document the ordeal. This Time-lapse video is the end result of a bit work, and yes… that is lunch at the end of it;) (Pay close attention to Chanelle in the one-piece-jammies throughout!)</div>

<b>Technical Details </b><small>(if you care)</small><b>:</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li>Still images were captured by a GoPro Hero3 Silver (w/ SanDisk 32GB Extreme Micro SD).</li>
<li>I set the GoPro to capture 1 image every 5 seconds. In total there are 1,729 still frames (this is about 144 minutes in real time).</li>
<li>I used <a href="http://www.dayofthenewdan.com/projects/time-lapse-assembler-1/" target="_blank">Time Lapse Assembler</a> (which I randomly found on Google) to create the video. I had never heard of this software before, but it works on my Mac and I was pleased with how easy it was to use, and how fast it worked compared to alternatives (iMovie gets SUPER bogged down when you try to import that many still images). </li>
<li>Finally, the video was rendered at 12 frames per second on the "High" quality setting, and resizing images to 1920px wide while keeping original aspect ratio. </li>
</ul>

<br />
<br />
<br />
The production goes as follows:<br />
<ul>
<li>Get dance clothes on (this is always exiting for the girls) </li>
<li>Get hair done (less exciting)</li>
<li>Drive to the UofA (less exciting for dad because of the Butterdome craft sale and the Nutcracker which were both in full swing when we were trying to arrive:)</li>
<li>Drop off the ladies (Lyndsey gets the girls met up with their classes)</li>
<li>Dad finds parking (and plots the best path through indoor ped-ways to get back to the car)</li>
<li>Find great seats that friends have saved for us</li>
<li>Enjoy other people's cute little kids jumping and fluttering around the stage</li>
<li>Watch Chanelle's number through the video camera (Lyndsey) and through the lens between snaps (Dave)</li>
<li>Watch 13 other numbers of cute little kids (and some big kids too)</li>
<li>Watch Elysse's number through the video camera (Lyndsey) and through the lens between snaps (Dave)</li>
<li>Watch another several numbers of the cruise ship production the dance company puts on </li>
<li>Pick the kids up from the stage after they see Santa (in the same order they performed!) </li>
<li>Give them their flowers (Pink rose for Chanelle, Yellow for Elysse)</li>
<li>Form a trail behind the father duck navigating through the pedways to the parkade</li>
<li>Rush off so we can get ready to roll for the Messiah production (that's another post…)</li>
</ul>
<br />
As exciting as those details were, here's what you've actually been waiting for:<br />

Well, we've had our first snowfall, and I thought I better get some Halloween pictures up before we really get in Christmas mode. Not to mention that my family has been asking for Halloween pictures for a while now... sorry!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; text-align: center;">
So here they are... our butterfly and our witch. They were pretty cute, and they got to wear their costumes quite a few times! I was looking forward to all the Halloween festivities... at first... </div>

Saturday came, and, though I was already tiring of Halloween, I had everything to make caramel apples, so I thought we better give it a try. I saw them on a <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/10/salted-and-other-caramel-apples/" target="_blank">blog </a>and they looked so pretty. Let me just say that ours turned out MUCH less than pretty...</div>

I have quite a few things to catch up on, but this is what's consuming me these days, so I may as well keep the trend going.<br /><br />I have been conducting children's choirs in Edmonton (school and community) since 2005. I used to be with Cantilon Choirs, but for the last two years I've been with a gr. 1-3 choir under Edmonton Junior Children's Choir, an amazing choir started by Anne McIntyre in 1998. We've just recently changed our name to Edmonton Young Voices.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhip3NH68VQxl9ykQHJCxz80T7tWaCoYv5hDuDx_-AzqzooYw0qMtpQx8xozOJEZEnbwqOPUUP4Rp7T-kwNIMVqPdW0CpiWZJswxVSLNzFXVTeLYorg0yrLZQtunYEiUITPB9sQeg0js-UP/s1600/EYVlogo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhip3NH68VQxl9ykQHJCxz80T7tWaCoYv5hDuDx_-AzqzooYw0qMtpQx8xozOJEZEnbwqOPUUP4Rp7T-kwNIMVqPdW0CpiWZJswxVSLNzFXVTeLYorg0yrLZQtunYEiUITPB9sQeg0js-UP/s400/EYVlogo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616230259603965218" border="0" /></a><br />More exciting news is that we've added new programs on both ends of the choir. We now offer a preschool program for 3-5 year olds called MUSICMAKERS. Then there's the Junior Choir for gr. 1-3, the Children's Choir for gr. 4-6 , and now the Chamber Choir for gr. 7-10.<br /><br />My girls will both be in MUSICMAKERS this year. Anyone else want to join? Thursdays, 4:30-5:15.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYO3ypg_gD2vP3re5m5NHCa1MxaVE7iZg4w5AZ-8cLWaNbc8z9i9VTju7lLySqVZ4ii5Um5WyIbgWd2sjo_RcEluEGFZnKHqMp9FGfgJfdNeylrPnLlm164jkx3rk3TcWl0x0pVyMNCIVM/s1600/MMlogo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 54px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYO3ypg_gD2vP3re5m5NHCa1MxaVE7iZg4w5AZ-8cLWaNbc8z9i9VTju7lLySqVZ4ii5Um5WyIbgWd2sjo_RcEluEGFZnKHqMp9FGfgJfdNeylrPnLlm164jkx3rk3TcWl0x0pVyMNCIVM/s400/MMlogo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616230613178748530" border="0" /></a><br />My choir (Junior Choir, gr. 1-3) and the Children's Choir are also on Thursdays, but they start at 5:30. I've been in choirs almost forever, so I'm slightly biased, but it is a really fantastic experience.

In case you didn't notice, this picture location and pose are making their return for the third time (see the <a href="http://olsenfamilyweb.blogspot.com/2009/05/mothers-day.html">first</a> & <a href="http://olsenfamilyweb.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-sweet-it-is.html">second</a>).<br /><br />I guess, in keeping with those sister posts, I will give a brief history of what's going on in our lives:<br /><br />I am busy with my landscaping company (sometimes a little too busy, but that a good thing right?)<br /><br />Lyndsey is busy with choirs, teaching music on Thursday and Friday mornings, and of course the girls!<br /><br />Elysse routinely asked me: "Dad, can you teach me everything I don't already know?" So the other day we learned about the forces of lift on an airplane wing and how the air has to travel further over the top of the wing which creates low pressure under it… ok, I'll spare you the rest of the details.<br /><br />She just finished playschool for the year and is excited about Kindergarten in September. She loves to socialize with my "workers," and is still a prolific artist!<br /><br />Chanelle is hilarious, she has picked up on our parenting technique of asking questions to provoke action, but she puts her own spin on it.<br /><br />For example, if I see her throw a toy on the ground the conversation might go like this:<br />D: "Chanelle, did you throw your toy on the ground?"<br />C: "No."<br />D" "Chanelle, I was watching you. Did you throw your toy on the ground?"<br />C: "Yes."<br />D: "Do we do that?"<br />C: "No."<br />D: "Ok, can you put it away please?"<br />C: "Alright!" (I live that she talks like that!)<br /><br />Anyway, the funny part is that she figured out that she can asked questions to which she already knows that answer too; only she has no intentions other than to ask the questions, unless she's mad, then it's very accusatory. Some instances are:<br /><br /><ul><li>Upon me exiting the shower, if she's playing in our room: "Dad… did you have a shower?"</li><li>Upon Lyndsey getting home from choir: "Mom… did you come home?"</li><li>Upon wiping out and thinking that Elysse pushed her: (in a very Chanellesque angry tone) "Elysse… did you push me down?!!!!!!!!!!!!!"</li></ul><p>She still has her moments, but we are proud of how she is improving the frequency of talking instead of freaking out about things. I say "improve" because there still is a lot of freaking out, but we're working on it. On the other hand she is so cute, and loving, and Elysse and her play so well together. Chanelle loves to be the "baby" and Elysse the "mommy."</p><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8V68mHCEwVV0dLPCJUpZ0o5sOXY9UvOmDl51kIkrnALEjHuL4MJqZ-MLydUAE7ucjrjM-5MZhmGJCrJutsHmujTMWPV0eRyk0ZHTkhfxlNffZhRdl8ct_5Sc0dM8EeKKSUF09TEpak0GB/s1600/IMG_3048.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8V68mHCEwVV0dLPCJUpZ0o5sOXY9UvOmDl51kIkrnALEjHuL4MJqZ-MLydUAE7ucjrjM-5MZhmGJCrJutsHmujTMWPV0eRyk0ZHTkhfxlNffZhRdl8ct_5Sc0dM8EeKKSUF09TEpak0GB/s400/IMG_3048.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612517262757121122" border="0" /></a><p>Well, I guess this is the end of the End-of-May Spring Report, till next time…</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10875421831460274775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1253117472501510130.post-63892065426755826032011-05-15T08:05:00.002-06:002011-05-15T08:25:41.476-06:00Best Soggy Shreddies Ever!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhmI2FoCaSJY2LHkEtp5iEBRPgUbIN7tnN0rOfyNZ3i4bK3Jw96YrlM199dttT4ZN3KNEEiHtVQAbsT57UJYZtTouT3wG-s4J8EvbDHyS-ZRdpj1gWASPPEQ6mcm3cy2UrFGFuGTK23n9H/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-05-15+at+8.11.30+AM.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 311px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhmI2FoCaSJY2LHkEtp5iEBRPgUbIN7tnN0rOfyNZ3i4bK3Jw96YrlM199dttT4ZN3KNEEiHtVQAbsT57UJYZtTouT3wG-s4J8EvbDHyS-ZRdpj1gWASPPEQ6mcm3cy2UrFGFuGTK23n9H/s400/Screen+shot+2011-05-15+at+8.11.30+AM.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606948852702883922" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Elysse really wanted to make me breakfast today… really! I had got her Cheerios already and she was adamant that I let her do my breakfast. "What do you want daddy?" I asked for Shreddies.<br /><br />I love Shreddies; always have, probably always will!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Side note</span><br />My uncle who is a doctor did a personal research project on himself that might interest anyone who gets canker sores: when he is eating Shreddies regularly he doesn't seem to get them. He attributes this to the high vitamin B12 in Shreddies, so… maybe that helps someone out there?<br /><br />Anyways, the only thing I don't love about Shreddies is how fast they get soggy. If anyone knows me and how I'm a fast eater, this generally doesn't pose a problem. Today was a little different.<br /><br />Since I was about to go into the shower I told Elysse that if she wanted to make me breakfast, she should not put the milk in till I was out of the shower. She seemed to get it, but I guess the overwhelming urge to do something nice for her dad was too much!<br /><br />After the shower, she was waiting at the bathroom door for me while I was shaving when she couldn't wait anymore, she had to see me to tell me that she had made me breakfast and "poured the milk without one drip!"<br /><br />Needless to say, today I had the best soggy Shreddies ever!<br /><br />DaveAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10875421831460274775noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1253117472501510130.post-37209661533141702952011-04-29T17:48:00.001-06:002011-04-29T17:48:26.925-06:00Natural Style<div class='posterous_autopost'><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/daveolsen/e630mCmdi2Eu5Fw9PT9PD469JR8c2kehFhiWaCS56ECklXGB5ftZIWi2tJJa/image.jpeg.scaled.1000.jpg"><img alt="Image" height="667" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/daveolsen/DXCU8PT8TELVDQp7P8CCGLLMQFszYu5Ij3mp3y9ruhYTBDk9yclMFszClm3i/image.jpeg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/daveolsen/AQI77YcfVA3dRL77NhaRio2kPNsuqjEFFSAdym2OxvwdygcnKz3MwaALDizd/0image.jpeg.scaled.1000.jpg"><img alt="0image" height="667" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/daveolsen/M1ecGkOuMj6Aii9uSyIWM97sxFwQWnby1zw4ax48S6CR70gsjCxgoAHlrmPB/0image.jpeg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/daveolsen/xOrWuq1oLDTC4SfQY1NlwdxHrT29RHnN4JcRJeuRlKiBz7GDd4oUVVibpvFr/1image.jpeg.scaled.1000.jpg"><img alt="1image" height="667" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/daveolsen/A45T6v2GqHtdoo3feceqj71C4onwc5ahNTlyEjDUskVjWUPol9ccZrG7xRM9/1image.jpeg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <div class='p_see_full_gallery'><a href="http://daveolsen.posterous.com/natural-style">See the full gallery on Posterous</a></div> </div> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://daveolsen.posterous.com/natural-style">Dave Olsen's posterous</a> </p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10875421831460274775noreply@blogger.com0
