Silly Kids, Snowy Window

Thinking games

Noah has gotten recently become really interested in chess

Games are slow, but apparently contain twitch-worthy excitement

And also it's fun to watch him and Chad play when they mimic each other... 

Two Sides

Sweet

Trouble

Tap Dance

Noah's tap dancing debut

 

I expect America's Got Talent to be calling any day now...

Reading at the dining room table

Science Experiment

When Saba came to visit we did some experiments

OMG SCIENCE!!

First we had to mix everything up

And also measure

And we set out the blue baking soda on the plate (aka MOUNTAIN!!!)

And poured a lake of red water around it (aka LAVA!!)

And dripped in the citric acid solution (aka OMG VOLCANO!!!!)

(actually it is pretty cool looking, huh?)

Kitties

yeah, we're still here, getting your bedcovers all hairy.  Watchagonnadoaboutit?

The King and I

The other day Noah and Eva put on a musical in the kitchen.  I am a bit shakey on the plot, something about a king.  I wish I could have captured the first 10 minutes of the show, believe it or not they were even better than this.

Architecture and Design

We spend a lot of time contemplating Legos at our house.

It's serious business

Requiring the utmost concentration

A few twitches

Consideration of composition and aesthetics

many heavy sighs

And eventual completion

(That is Bowser Jr.'s ship, in case you were interested.  It shoots three bombs.  THREE BOMBS AT THE SAME TIME.)

Wolf vs Dinosaur

Stare down.... 

And ATTACK!!

Big Wolf Construction Co.

Oh, hello there mr. canine contractor

Oh good I've been looking for you.  I have been over here fixing the wall.

But I'm so glad to find you over here so I can bring you up to speed on a terribly complicated dramatic plot I have been working out while leveling the doorframe.

And this is the part that is SCARY and they DISAPPEARED and then she said "do you know where my mommy is?"

And now I will relate to you with utmost seriousness the thirteen subsequent acts to the SCARY part where they DISAPPEARED and then the worker decided to eat a potato for lunch.  Don't eat that one! It's a PRETEND POTATO!

And so goes every evening with Eva, ever.

Olymic Dreams

Noah and Eva watched the Olympic figure skating with their whole bodies.

Thing two

Recent Artowrk

Some recent masterpieces I'd like to share:

(Eva) That's me in a bathing suit!  I'm doing a dolphin!!

(Eva) See that's a heart with a "P" in it for "Pytel!"

(Noah)  That's [from left] Grammy, Grammy Sue and the mover moving form their old house to their new house!
