School and Stuff

So far school has been a success. Today was crazy hair day:We're bonding with our sweet little hedgehog. Last night Ralph took a bath with Zig. He's an incredible swimmer but was ready to get out pretty quickly. Here's how Zig holds him:

The wonders never cease

Leave the kid alone for half an hour and see what he does:

This is a taxi built using instructions from the website, plus a big fan modeled on the Dyson (sort of) that he just made up. He's been on me to buy a Dyson fan. I think he just wants to take it apart. As you can see here, I don't think he believes in airfoil technology. For the record, his dad doesn't, either.

You won't believe this one...

Ziggy came racing into the kitchen today with his latest creation:

A lawn mower, no more no less. As usual, I'm speechless.

First Grade!

Legoland Again!

We made the grueling drive from Los Angeles to Carlsbad in 100+ heat, but it was worth it!

Zig and Marishka rode every roller coaster in the park and got their Volvo driver's licenses:

Marishka was very patient while Zig did the Build and Test car challenge:

At the end of the evening we did the little boat tour past some fun Lego creations:

Quote of the day: "We aren't tired at all! We want to stay here all night!" (Marisha went to sleep as soon as we got on the freeway, and about five minutes later Zig joined her with his head back and mouth open.)

Alchemy

This is what Zig spent the evening working on. It's the blueprint for a machine to make gold.
