uncanny valley

we were learning about the uncanny valley. the more robots look and act like people, the more people like them. but then when robots are a little too human, some people think they are scary or creepy. i'm going to build the first robot on the other side of the valley. i'll build it out of mindstorms.

posterity box

we were reading a paddington bear story where he makes a posterity box, which is like a time capsule. if i made a box i would put in it six empty lego set boxes. i wonder what they would look like in a few thousand years.

we got a chalkboard

we found a big chalkboard on the side of the road. we put it on our wall. here are some pictures i drew.

a bird on a nest

papa is coming for a visit.  he is bringing us a new siskin.

rotta the hutt.  he is also called the huttlet.

calendar

this is what we are doing every week. daddy and i drew it together on our chalkboard.

[note from daddy - if you can't guess from the pictures - sunday is church, monday is no plans, tuesday is origami club/library, wednesday is beavers, thursday is no plans, friday is swimming, saturday is drama class]

lanterns

there was a lantern walk at the 'art in the open' festival. i made one for each person in my family. instead of candles we used tiny flashlights from the dollar store.
