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.
