Monday Mornings With Zachary

Upper Perk Robotics giving their mid-year update. Cole is on Team A and Ava is on Team B. The video concludes with pictures and videos of their Lego League sessions so far this year.

De Plane, De Plane!

Ava's been drawing faces in this new way recently. With the buggy eyes and the jawlines and foreheads....I kind of love them.

Get To Know Colson

Colson's "Get To Know Me" slide from the first month of school.

Oxymoronic Oily Body Part Idioms

So, applying elbow grease means that you're doing really hard, honest work, but greasing someone's palm means you're bribing someone. Discuss.

Peanuts And Cracker Jacks

Some fun pictures Ava drew on the subject of baseball. Above is a picture of her and Eric, and below is a cute stick person baseball game. I'm dying over the stick men squatting with their hands on their knees.

Monday Mornings With Zachary

I found a video yesterday that the kids made themselves. In it, you get to see Ava's comedic prowess, Zach's hilarious dance moves, and Cole's, well, general bossiness....

At around 8:11, Ava adds one of her comedic touches to this video, and it made me laugh out loud. For most of the video she's just smacking her own butt, but every now and again, when Cole's not looking, she sneaks in her wacky humor. Jazz hands from behind the camera at 11:22 made me snicker.

At 10:19 Colson finally adds something to this video by rockin' out the retarded air guitar.

It's a long video, but there are some great moments. I'm sure the only people who will make it through the whole thing are Luke and Sophia Tabasso, but the rest of you can try...

Ava's Fashions

I love this picture of my Renaissance girl playing in the garden with her abacus.

But I love this picture of my metamodernist girl even more.
