Master Banana Jedi

All of the 4th graders at South School have a banana contest every year. They make people out of bananas--as you can see. Jackson chose to make Star Wars figures. He won 5th place out of all the 4th grade classes and got 2 free icecream sundaes from Baskin Robbins!! Master Yoda Obi won and Qui gonObi won and Darth Maul Yoda and Darth MaulDarth Maul

Destined to end in tragedy....

I turned the video camera on to catch the tragedy

but missed it by just a few seconds. I don't know

how it happened but Megan ran into calamity out

of sight in the kitchen.

Just Pictures

The snow we got last month turned into a sheet of ice after the first night--hard to walk on--but a great way to tear up the front of your jacket!!!! Or the back.Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Jessica gets up and starts reading, then is late getting ready for school--but at least she is reading. She broadened her horizons by reading a book about a boy who's father was killed at Pearl Harbor. I was impressed.Happy Corey. He can be such a good boy sometimes. Can't you see it?This was not a duet. It probably turned into a brawl.

Music

I was putting new music on our blog. I wanted hip stuff. I've done 80's, and blues-y stuff so I wanted modern pop. I realized I don't really know any modern stuff!! I never listen to the radio! So I put on as many cool movie themes as I could think of--and actually find. I can't believe I'm so out of date. AHHHHH!!

Same as we ever were!!!!

Sorry I cut Annies head off!!

Cross-dressers...

more cross dressing...

and more cross dressing.

This is packaging styrofoam that Corey turned into artwork. He called it the 'cracken'. Can you see it?

Megans class hermit crab. This is not the one we killed.

Cute baby--not ours. Bummer.

Strong man!

Santa and His Reindeer

This was a fun Christmas game Corey put together. He had turned his box into a sled and he was complaining that he didn't know what to do for a reindeer. He needed something to pull him around the house. (He had put presents from under the tree in his 'sled'). So I said to do what the Grinch did and tie some horns to Megans head--I mean antlers. Well, he didn't tie antlers to her head but its nothing short of a Christmas miracle that she agreed to be his reindeer and zip him and his little box around the house.

Go, Rudolph, go!!!!!
They got going a little too fast.............................

and Santa bit the dust. But all the presents got delivered. Hooray!
