September Happenings

 September was a busy month with lots of games, books and building. Here are some highlights.

Playing with Miles, our robot. Matthew made him his hat out of silly putty.

We got a new bird, Ciel. It is pronounced C-L and means "sky" in French. She is very pretty.

One of Matthew's latest Tegu block and domino creations.

U, Megan and Matthew saw the harvest moon and thought it was really pretty. It looked like a pumpkin as it was kind of orange.

Matthew with a snake around his neck during their on site field trip.

One of Matthew's Silk Art creations. It's a cool app where you can create art using different patterns and colors.

One of Megan's creations.

We have been playing Little Alchemy 2, discovering ways to create new elements and products. This is Megan's Jedi Council.

Megan and Matthew were able to go to Legoland Discovery Center over Fall Break with one of their friends and his family.

Matthew and Colton in back. (Colton is a third grader who is taller than Matthew. Matthew is ok with this.) Mom and Lauren in front.

Noah entertaining the kids while they built with Legos. Kids are Megan, Lauren, Jacob, Colton and Matthew.

Matthew and Colton built this pirate tower together.

Colton and Matthew with some other builds. Matthew built the survival ship on the top shelf. He also helped Jacob with Green Beard's ship that is on the middle shelf.

Jacob, Megan and Lauren with the snails they made during the mini build.

Megan, Matthew and Me were discussing population trends over time and how many children used to die at a young age. Megan said, "No wonder why they liked to fight. They had to get their sadness out somehow. The sorrow turned into anger and then they killed people."
