Camp Galileo crafts exhibit

 Friday was "Toy Story" day at camp.  Campers and staff dressed as their favorite toy or character... Noodles loves Kirby so we made this shirt out of pink duct tape.  Tiny wore a "Cars" shirt with "Lightning McQueen" on it.

 Here we are in one of the science classrooms during Open House... Tiny is showing off the "car" he built from recycled cardboard, popsicle sticks, masking tape and clay.  Noodles has a pinball machine he designed... note the bridge in the background.  There is also a little clay car that can drive on the road using a magnet.

 This is a game Tiny designed at camp.  It has felt targets worth different points and he is using a dixie cup/spoon/popsicle stick launcher to launch a whiffle ball covered with velcro at the gameboard.

 

Tiny also shows off his hotwheel car playset he designed with recycled materials.  They both had a great time at camp and can't wait to go again next year! 
*Please see next post for Noodle's uglydoll that was also made at camp.

Summer Day Camp update

Wednesday was team color day- we made Noodle's shirt with silver duct tape for silver team and Tiny is wearing a red faux-hawk to go with his red t-shirt for the red team.  Don't worry... it's just colored hair gel... already washed out in the shower!!!  Also note the dog face painted on Tiny's cheek.

Tiny's turn on the slip n' slide for Thursday's splash day.  Had lots of other stations to try but this was the one they were at when mom got there with the camera!!!

O.K. - as you can see... Noodles not quite as into getting water in his face as Tiny but big smiles none the less.  Boys had tons of fun!!!!

Tiny is all bundled up since it was just barely warm enough to have a splash day.  This is by no means normal weather for us here in California... trying very hard to blow this weather towards you guys (Maarketti, Pastas, and BIGREDDOG) as I know that you are all in the middle of a heat wave... litterally sucking in my cheeks and blowing... really... I'm serious!!!!!  Hope this funny weather comes your way!!!!!!

Morning drop off at Camp Galileo

Here are the boys at morning drop off for summer camp.  Tiny Schmoo is in the green sweatshirt and Noodles (Little Schmoo) is in the light blue jacket.  It was their first morning for drop off since the moron brought traffic to a standstill on the freeway yesterday and made us an hour late!!!  This is their third year going to Camp G.  Tiny Schmoo is in the "stars" group and Noodles gets to be a "supernova" this year.  The have three classes each day: science, art, and outdoor activities.  Will be posting any projects they bring home but might have to wait till Friday since many of the bigger projects are kept for closing ceremonies (kinda like open house) and some of the projects they will not be taking home since they are developing teamwork by working in small groups or pairs.  P.S. - funny seeing them in sweatshirts/jackets during July... this is not typical California weather!!!!

Pastas... here's the song from Phineas and Ferb

Phineas and Ferb funny song link - Pastas... Noodles (as Little Schmoo now wants to be called) uses your name instead of the word fossils in this funny song (well not much of a song but didn't know what else to call it)... so imagine the song but with your name instead.  Quite funny when he does it.  He is just enamored with you!

Pastas... He's been watching too many You Tube Videos

http://youtu.be/by_8IM8gRm4  For our friend Pastas, here is the link to the Kirby video clip with the killer squirrel.  Poor baby elephant!

Mural almost done!!!! missing sky still

Here it is... it is almost finished.  Still missing the sky... might be a delay in getting to that part. Tiny was very happy when he saw it so all is well... can always get around to adding the sky... eventually...  uh oh... there goes that procrastinator in me!  Now that kids are back, gonna be hard to get it  done!
