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!

Tiny Schmoo's "toadie" wall mural step by step progress

 Here we go... first the toadies get faces and anything skin tone...



Then each toadie gets a diffent color hat and vest to wear...  Tiny Schmoo chose four colors... the green toad will be riding a yoshi in another part of the mural...

And voila... here are the toadies with their shoes on... as you can see the paint is not even dry... but was hoping to catch our farm friend Bon Temps before she goes on her trip to Sydney.  Thanks again for changing your toad into green clothes for Tiny Schmoo last time!  Hope you enjoy your trip!


Remember that this is only part of the mural (about an 8th of it maybe) so I will be taking pictures as the rest of the mural progresses and will be posting  the final shot of the finished mural at the end.  Thanks for watching!

Tiny's new bedroom mural sketch - step 1

Sorry it is not very clear but here is the sketch of part of Tiny's Schmoo's "toadie" mural.  I tried to take a picture of the whole wall but then you can't see it in the photo at all (since it is in pencil.)  So I will  try to keep you updated and add pictures as I paint if the computer and card reader cooperate.
