A follow-up to the bender pictures from last summer. It's actually from a couple months ago, but I wanted to document it as it's in danger of being smudged out of recognition

do i see bender, fry, leela with no hair and professor farnsworth with hair?

Yes! Leela has a ponytail that I cut off in the picture by accident. I'm not sure why Farnsworth has hair. Also in the pic is Amy. You can always tell who the women are in my daughter's drawings - the little circles by their bellies indicate that they are pregnant.

Ok, that looks like a good one.
― how's life, Monday, 23 May 2016 13:47 (eight years ago) link
We used to have basically an entire umbrella stand full of big sticks. My oldest kid would find a special stick every time we went hiking in the state park, and there was no way that I was allowed to chuck them out the back door or use them for kindling or whatever. Eventually he got into whittling though so it all worked itself out.
My little kid brings home smaller treasures, like the one in your saxophone. She doesn't care about them as much as her brother did though, so I usually just end up finding them when I clean under the couch or whatever.

Stick Man is *amazing, tbh - the animated version is pretty cool too. My daughter treats every stick she finds like a Stick Man action figure, and starts saying stuff like "I'm taking you home to my stick children three..." She found one the other week and I swear she recited almost the entire book on the walk home, she was so excited.
I fired up the bbq this weekend and was v tempted to throw a couple of 'em on to keep it burning, tbh.

Bubbles are the best until you buy a gallon container of them thinking that'll be enough for the summer and then the kids next door come over and splosh them all over the yard.

The boys' school have projects every semester. This time, it was supposed to be about government, but after the election, they refocused on social justice.
Lots of pics here, but here are a couple:

That's a prime reading spot!
Lulu is obsessed with Pokemon - she sets her schoolmates Pokemon homework, talks of little else, plays Brick Bronze on Roblox, commandeers my phone to play "Go" (it's my fault for getting that app last summer)...
Ava has fallen in with a good bunch of new pals at secondary school - budding musicians, kind of nerd-cool. This is the point at which friends because more the focus, not parents.
