Yeah!!! Handing over M&M to school teachers tomorrow. We are so ready!
I try try try to do science experiments with the kiddos. Frozen grape growing crystals in super-cooled water.. FAIL (3x). Growing ice experiment... FAIL... Candle in a bottle... err... partial success.
A 3/4 successful experiment! Finally! My science projects success rate damn low...
Found a dead branch!!! This represents an opportunity - for decoration... Morgan says he is doing a lot of butterflies... Mimi asks me what occasions are we decorating for... err... Dragon boat festival.
Recycled branch for some pattern painting. Throw away branch. Done.
An evolving artwork.
Day 1:
I want to paint my face blue, Morgan says. So I tell him why not do it both on face and paper? Birth of a blue A3 background... it is an coincidence without purpose.
Day 2:
Morgan, do you want to draw an umbrella on a rainy day or sea creatures on your blue background? I want to draw a ship... The blue is now endow with meaning. It is the sea.
Day 3:
Mr Morg, fish or crab or octopus?
TADA!!! The epic battle of of the deep sea octopus (yes, that is an octopus) vs the ship in turbulent stormy waters. Deep scars on the (big fat) arm of the octopus... wow.. Mad confusions of colours, dunno what these exploding sea balls are but they scream DANGER... Skies merge with the sea, a puff of cloud under the ship...
Ok, this is just me speaking. What I am trying to say is : the battle is very happening.
Actually, Mr Morg just goes got-space-got-balls-just-paste-paste-paste.
Scars is just the unfortunate results of why-did-I-draw-such-a-big-surface-to-colur-so-wth-I-am-angry-and-impatient. No meaning, intent or purpose... sigh.
In comparison... Megan's paint by number art is super tranquil and relaxing... intent is to match the color to the number. Life is not that complicated.
Wow... we do have a lot of jigsaw puzzles in the house.
Commission Megi to construct a hopscotch. Brilliant.
An adult attempting hopscotch is extremely faint inducing. Goggled "panting heavily after exercise" immediately because I do feel out of oxygen + absolutely unwell. Page 1-3 search results come back with "is it normal for your cat or dog to pant heavily after exercise". Does nobody care about humans?
Morgan refuses to use beanbags, he keeps using a piece of steak from his store to throw, which hardly ever lands on the correct box.
Chocolate muffins for back to school snacks. Oh no... Morgan has ulcers again! Do not let grandfather know we bake chocolate muffins.
Scooter skate and roller blade. I am glad you exist.
