Wrapping Up July in Pictures
July 28th, Alright so… see that thing in Ian’s hands? He built it completely by himself. It is basically a backwards bow. The black dot where the two yellow things meet is a bolt with threads. The yellow parts are pushing out and away from each other, locking the threads of the bolt in place until the lower yellow part is pulled back… the more one pulls it back, the more the yellow bits become bowed, ready to spring forward; also the more aligned the yellow bits become, the less friction holding the bolt, until suddenly the yellow bits fling the bolt across the room. Genius? Prolly. See this image larger.
A better shot of the bow. See this image larger.
Ian about to deploy the bolt into my liver. See this image larger.
Ian and I decided to try a little camping in the sunroom! See this image larger.
There’s an Aero inflatable bed in there, the tent was extremely inexpensive and a perfect fit for the room, and for the bed. I do think we’ll try this outside at some point, to answer the question that’s on your mind! 😉 See this image larger.
Ian enjoyed seeing the stars and moon out the windows! See this image larger.
There was plenty of laughter, book reading, flashlights and then sleep! See this image larger.
July 30th, Sometimes the kids just… play. They play together quietly and, sometimes even with the same toy, and there is nothing but joy. (And then sometimes there’s screaming and freaking out.) See this image larger.
Hi! 
Also sometimes the kids just want to be alone and make up adventures and stories! See this image larger.
So cute! See this image larger.
July 31st… Here, Ian is… you know I don’t… I’m not even sure what’s going on here, so uh… next slide, please! See this image larger.
Ian drew an EXCELLENT picture of Brobee from Yo Gabba Gabba! Well done, kiddo! See this image larger.
Nina made this one for her Ian! See this image larger.
I think Ian took this one, I’ll have to ask him what it is! See this image larger.
