Inspired by the artwork they saw at the Winter Park Art Festival, today the kids made their very own Fobots (Found Object Robots)

This is a dog...  looks like a cat to me, but I am assured it is a dog.

This is a girl.  And the beauty of this design in that Naomi can put things inside the stomach to simulate what she might have eaten.  

This is the boy.  He has cool hair and big shoes. 

Then Eli decided to make some art for me and Tina, then put in on the top of our bed...  

Venus Was Cracking!

Once upon a time in Veinus there were aleines. They were simey and weird looking. They loved their home on Venus.

A alien said lets find something to eat. I am starfing. So the aliens went to find something to eat. But they didn't know astrunots were on the other side. The aliens fond something to eat. It was a piece of crust of the planet.

But then Venus became hot and the planet was cracking and lava was poring on the planet. The aliens jumped and some of the aliens couldn't control there selfs and fell into the lava.

Most of them survived and flew into there ships. And they were all hungry. But like a month or so they landed on Mars. The aliens were not uest to the flat ground on Mars.

  
The aliens made a house made of crust. They missed there home on Venus. One alien said Lets go exploreing. They walked for hours and hours.

Finally they were tired and was going to turn back when a voice said Who are you. A alien said we are aliens from Venus but who are you. I am a wizard that studies the planet but I don't studie Pluto.

Shorty Pictures!

Mom let me borrow her camera to take pictures and these are some pictures that I took.


Green is my moms favorite color and this car was green and looked cool because I had never seen one like it before. It was really old and people were driving it some.

This is my dad that is sleeping and he likes to sleep and have a back scratch.  Most all he likes is a back scratch!

This is us in our library. Mom and Eli are looking for books. One day I saw her like that through the bookshelf.  Mom thought it was cool.

This is a train in our library and it is hold books.  In the back is a flying can of paint that looks like it is spilling on the books. 

This is mom on the computer. She got her hair cut with me at a salon. It looks good.

This is mom and Eli at a restaurant and we are eating breakfast. It is called First Watch. It was awesome!

At the farmer's market on Sunday I took this picture because I like popcorn.  :)

These are some Ibis birds we call Dr, Seuss birds. They look really funny. Mom figured out when we see them it is always right before it rains.

Curley's story about King Nick and the Dragons (part 2)

*(part 1 was posted on 2/17/10. When we left the story, Queen Sara was leading her men into a fierce battle with the dragons.)


... A man got caught by fire.  A dragon got shot.  Sara cut a limb down and swung the limb and blinded a dragon.  A dragon put fire on a knight.  Now Sara only had 198 men.

Sara drawed her sword and chopped a dragon head off.  But most of the dragons died, so Sara and the 198 men went back.

On the way they heard that Nicks hurt arm healed.  Sara was rejoiced with her men.

Finally they reached the kingdom and Sara was surprised because Nick looked brand new to her. And nice.

I love you said Nick.  I know said Sara and kissed.  Everyone cheered.

The End.

THE STORY OF KING NICK AND THE DRAGONS

Once upon a time a spoiled rich mean king was named Nick. But his queen was difrent. She was pretty and shared money with the poor.

Miles away dragons were planing a attack because he killed half of their pack. The next day they flew to the castle. But Nicks army was not ready to fight.

Nick did'nt know the dragons were attacking. The dragons landed on the ground by the castle then one of the dragons got shot by a arrow. The battle had begun.

A knight drew his sword. He was about to slash a claw of a dragon but another dragon put his sword on fire. Dragon breathing fire. Knight shotting arrows. Nick could'nt see enething.

Nick jumped down on the ground. Then a arrow shot him in the arm. The knight shouted the king is wouned. The dragon flew back to their home.

Nicks knights were sick and tired and wouned. The dragons were fine because they were tuffer and had fire.

Now Nick was planning a attack because a dragon put most of his men were in the dungon. But Nick said Sara you can lead the attack because I have a hurt shoulder.

Shorty's pictures

These are pictures I took when I was with my mom.  This first one is a big tree. I liked it because it was cool and big and had lots of moss on it. 

This horse is made out of sticks and is cool.  I liked because it was a horse and I really like horses. 

This was in Eli's room and he was putting his clothes up after we folded them.

This is Bailey our new dog on the couch.  And she is sweet and cute. 

This is my mom and Bailey. And my mom is hugging on Bailey. She really likes Bailey. 

This is a book that I read in school. It is called Riding The Pony Express. I like the grass in the picture and the boy on the horse shooting the gun. It was interesting.
